soft-elinceser changed or corrupted

Hi All, first time on forum. PC had issues and needed to restore a prevoius backup. Error message, soft-elicenser have been changed or corrupted, contact supplier. Is there a method to changed the elicense on my PC? I’m running Window 7

I think, you can request another soft-elicenser number in your Steinberg account.
