Unable to Use Community License Key After Reinstallations

I’m a local user of the n8n Community edition. Due to limited experience, I had to reinstall n8n several times while learning and configuring it locally. As a result, my Community license key has been blocked.

Describe the problem/error/question

The Community license key has stopped working.

What is the error message (if any)?

Activation failed
Activation key has been used too many times

Hi there

Can you trying running n8n license:clear and then restart n8n and see if you can then apply the license?

docker exec -u node -it

This did not work. I am running n8n using helm and so i destroy and recreate often. Where is this limit stored and I get this error?
