The Need for Speed Shift doesn't start on Windows 10.
It has license server problem during the connection.
Please give me a help with this, I have attached the screenshot also.

@Gyuri856 looks like a copy protection message. If i am remembering this right, Shift had SecuROM as copy protection. Though i am not sure which version of it was.
If my guess is correct, it may be the one with an activation limit, in which case, you should contact support
Older SecuROM versions and older copy protections in general (Safedisc, TAGES, StarForce, etc) are blocked in Windows 10 and the only way to play the games using those copy protections is to have a Virtual Machine with Windows 7 installed (and install those games there) or using a dual boot system (Win 10 + Win 7/8/8.1). Windows 10 prevents the old copy protection drivers to be installed which rendered a vast number of games on physical support unplayable. That also goes for a number of games that were released only digitally.
Please read other threads in future to see if solutions have been found before posting as in this case the fix is at this link. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Need-for-Speed-Games/Need-for-speed-shift-connect-to-license-server/m-p/8306234#M10298
