Error while activating license key

Describe the problem/error/question

I have n8n Community Edition installed locally on my Windows machine with npm. I got a popup to enable some features including Debug in Editor for life. I applied for it and I got the key. But when I try to activate it, it said activated successfully, but on the terminal where server is running, it logs these errors.

400 Failed to renew license: renewal failed because current cert is not initialized
Failed to renew license: renewal failed because current cert is not initialized
400 Failed to renew license: renewal failed because current cert is not initialized
[license SDK] license successfully activated

Says activated “successfully” but gives certificate absence error?

When I click on Copy to Editor on a workflow execution, it continues to say “Available on Enterprise”, so I don’t think it actually activated.

Is there anyway to generate the certificate?

What is the error message (if any)?

400 Failed to renew license: renewal failed because current cert is not initialized

400 Failed to renew license: renewal failed because current cert is not initialized

Never mind. Somehow I now have the certificate as well as the license key deployed, and the feature Debug in Editor seems to be working too.
