Sims 4 - Game License Invalid
So first I had an issue with my app even loading, it said I had no games in my library, I needed to buy EA Play which I haven't had in years with no issue, and wouldn't even show Sims 4 anywhere. Con...

Every time I attempt to play the Sims 4, it launches with the error that my game license has expired. I follow the instructions and clear caches, but that does nothing. I have uninstalled my game and reinstalled it. I have uninstalled my app and reinstalled and nothing has worked. I am beyond frustrated as every time I attempt to open a case it does not give me the option, only to come to forums. Nothing on forums has worked. Like what am I meant to do.
@HayleyRob1 @Robin9139 and @ebony2319 I've merged your posts with another thread for this error. Are you launching Sims 4 through the EA App or through its desktop shortcut? Please go through the App, and make sure it's fully loaded before pressing Play.
If that doesn't help, click Windows key-R and enter this in the run box:
%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services
Move the License folder to the desktop, but don't delete it if you have other EA games you'd like to play. The folder and the relevant data inside should regenerate the next time you launch one of those games, but if it's not working for Sims 4, it might also not work for other games.
Please also let me know what's in the License folder you move as well as whether it regenerates when you try to launch Sims 4. There should be one entry for each EA game you've installed on this computer, although they're only sometimes labeled in an obvious way.

@kaimoook and @Robin9139 Thanks for checking. I've flagged this since a few players are currently affected. I don't know what else to suggest at this point, but hopefully someone will have other ideas soon.
@puzzlezaddict is there any progress you know of that isn't posted here? It has been almost a week since the last message and the bug is big enough that we all can't play the game whilst a timed event is ongoing. Thank you for anything you can tell us.
@puzzlezaddict I did exactly as you told, and I already play the sims 4 through the EA app, but it still gives the same error code.
I also got the same files inside before and after doing this, 1011164.dlf
