If you own a PlayStation 4, there are a few things you can do to help protect your console from being lost or stolen. One way is to restore your console’s license. This will allow you to play the games and applications that were installed on your console, as well as any other games or applications that may have been added since your last license renewal.

  1. Open the PlayStation 4 system software. This is located in the “system” folder of your PS4 hard drive.

  3. Double-click on one of the files in the “license” folder to open it in a text editor or word processor such as Notepad or WordPad.
  4. Copy and paste the following code into Notepad or WordPad: //Restore License File $this -> restore_license ( ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Interactive Entertainment America\PlayStation Network\LICENSE’ );
