Hi!
I'm having a frustrating issue with The Sims 4. Every time I try to start the game, I get the message "invalid game license." I've tried a few solutions, but nothing seems to work.
What I've done:
- Update Microsoft Visual C++
- Update graphics drivers
- Clear the EA App cache
- Uninstall and reinstall The Sims 4 and the EA App
- Perform a clean boot
Can anyone help me?
15o900 Please disable McAfee, temporarily of course, and try again. As long as you don't do anything else at the same time, your computer should be safe, and you can reenable McAfee when you're done.
The point of a new admin Windows account is not to test in any admin account, it's to test a new account that didn't exist before now. The new account's settings and permissions should all be default, which is most of the point of the test. So please do try it.

I just switched the Windows user, and unfortunately, it didn't work.

Download it on Steam, worked for me. It's gonna look weird and outdated if you try to add mods to it after that though
