Looks like the root cause is that the JavaScript method String.prototype.toWellFormed() is only available starting from Node.js 20—older Node versions will throw the exact error you’re seeing.

Here’s how to resolve it:
Your version is likely Node 18 or 19. Upgrade to at least Node 20. Or if using Docker, switch your base image to one that includes Node 20.
After upgrading Node.
Then fully restart your n8n instance (Docker container, system service, etc.).
This ensures any old license state is removed before reactivating.
