Can't open unity projects on new laptop. 'No valid unity editor license found. Please activate your license.'

Question

Hi, I sold my PC with hard reset, so no unity on that, I have another laptop with unity on it, signed into the same account. I bought this laptop, installed windows 11, and can't get Unity to work.
Things I've tried:

Logged out on everything except this laptop now.
Deleted C:\ProgramData\Unity\Unity_lic.ulf and reopened unity

Any ideas why this is happening?

Return the license on this. Go to unity website. Delete your pro license from all machines. Listed. Now try again. — BugFinder, May 06 '22 at 17:13
Thanks, the error disappeared, Unity loading image appears, and after 5 sec, it disappears. — brtlnkrisztian, May 06 '22 at 18:41

In my case, I had Unity Hub installed both via Flatpak and manually. The Flatpak had the license showing, but the manual one didn't. I had to open the manual install, re-add my license, and then it started working.
