To restore licenses on your PS4 without internet access, you can follow these steps:
1. Log out of your PSN account: Go to the Settings menu on your PS4 and select Account Management. From there, choose Sign Out.
2. Restart or turn off your PS4: Once you have logged out, either restart your PS4 or completely power it off. You can do this by pressing and holding the power button until the system shuts down.
3. Log back in to your PSN account: After your PS4 has powered up again, go back to the Settings menu and select Account Management. This time, choose Sign In. Enter your PSN login credentials to log back in to your account.
4. Restore licenses: Once you are signed in, navigate to the Account Management menu again. This time, select Restore Licenses (or Restore Licences if you use British English). Confirm your selection and wait for the process to complete.
Restoring licenses can help resolve issues with accessing your purchased games and content on your PS4. It essentially refreshes the licenses associated with your account, allowing you to use them offline.
If you are still experiencing problems after following these steps, you may want to try the following additional troubleshooting options:
– Check your internet connection: Although you are trying to restore licenses without internet access, ensuring a stable internet connection is important for the initial login and license verification process. If possible, connect your PS4 to the internet and try restoring licenses again.
– Ensure your account is active and in good standing: Make sure that your PSN account is active and not suspended or banned. If there are any issues with your account, contact PlayStation Support for further assistance.
– Rebuild the PS4 database: If you continue to have issues, you can try rebuilding the PS4 database. This process can help resolve various system-related problems. To do this, turn off your PS4 completely, then press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps. This will boot your PS4 into Safe Mode. From there, select the Rebuild Database option and follow the on-screen instructions.
Remember that restoring licenses without internet access may have limitations, as certain features and content may require an internet connection for verification. If you have the option, it is always recommended to connect your PS4 to the internet to ensure the best functionality and access to all your purchased content.
