Unity will not launch after subscription auto-renew

I try to launch Unity and it just doesnt open. I look at the log and it looks like the license expired.

So why does the HUB refuse to open so I can fix this easily? I have the license prepaid and it has already successfully auto renewed. But the old license prevents the hub from even *opening* to fix the issue?

This is absurd. I assume this isn't intentional. If there is a way to avoid this in the future please let me know.

Log also says "Licenses updated successfully" but I dont know what that means because I can see online that my license renewed and is up-to-date for my profile, but I still cant open the hub nor the editor.

Log:

Code (CSharp):

Have you tried returning your license and activating it again?

Inside the Hub, click the cogwheel icon to bring up the Preferences and go to

License Management

.

Even though this is meant for freeing up activations, maybe it still helps?

 

Thank you for the help, but HUB does not open at all. That is the issue.

 

Did you try what the message says to do?

 

I did, and it worked.

My larger issue is why doesnt the HUB open with this issue so I can fix it with the GUI as opposed to hunting down files on an annual basis. I assume there is some way to do this automatically, or failing that get the HUB to open and fix it there?
