NFS the Run won't launch with a "couldn't read license" error

I have played Need for Speed the Run several years again, and when I tried to play the Run on my laptop (HP Omen with Windows 11 25H2, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX, 16G RAM and Geforce RTX 5060), an error poped up with EC:204 code. I googled this code and reinstalled the game and EA app several times, now the EC:204 code is gone, and the "Game license is invalid" shows up.
