You'll have to contact Mathworks directly; it may have just expired and need renewal or something else may have happened.
But, this is not an official Mathworks support forum.

Hi @Syed Mudassir,
I understand that when you are trying to open matlab, you are facing some license issue. If MATLAB was working fine before and is now showing the message "You don't have a valid license file," it could be due to several reasons such as license expiration, network issues (if using a network license), or changes in the license file. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Step 1: Verify License File Location
Check License File: Ensure that the license file (`license.lic`) is located in the correct directory. Typically, the license file is located in the following paths:
  • Windows: `C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a\licenses`
  • macOS/Linux: `/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/licenses`
Environment Variable: Ensure that the environment variable `MLM_LICENSE_FILE` is set correctly if you are using a network license.
Step 2: Update License File
1. Download License File: Log in to your account and download the latest license file.
2. Replace License File: Replace the old license file with the new one in the appropriate directory.
Step 3: Check Network License Manager
If you are using a network license, ensure that the network license manager is running and that your machine can communicate with it.
1. Check Network Connection: Ensure that your computer is connected to the network and can communicate with the license server.
2. Restart License Manager: Restart the network license manager on the server.
Step 4: Update MATLAB
Ensure that your MATLAB installation is up to date. Sometimes, updating MATLAB can resolve licensing issues.
1. Open MATLAB (if possible): If MATLAB opens, go to the "Home" tab, and click on "Add-Ons" -> "Check for Updates".
2. Manually Update: If MATLAB doesn't open, you may need to reinstall or update MATLAB manually from the MathWorks website.
Step 5: Re-activate MATLAB
1. Deactivate MATLAB: If possible, deactivate MATLAB from the MATLAB Help menu.
- Go to "Help" -> "Licensing" -> "Deactivate Software".
2. Reactivate MATLAB: Reactivate MATLAB using the activation client.
- Open the MATLAB activation client:
- Windows: `C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a\bin\win64\activate_matlab.exe`
- macOS: `/Applications/MATLAB_R2023a.app/bin/activate_matlab.sh`
- Linux: `/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/bin/activate_matlab.sh`
- Follow the prompts to reactivate MATLAB.
Note: Replace `R2023a` with your specific MATLAB version in the paths provided.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact MathWorks support for assistance https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html. Provide them with details about the error message and any steps you have already taken to troubleshoot the issue.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing MATLAB from recognizing a valid license file.
I hope this helps!
