Once you have restarted your PC you should be able to launch Starfield again without any hassle or a big red error popping up again thankfully.

So far we haven’t managed to test any other fixes for this particular error but I would personally recommend running Starfield as an Administrator by right-clicking on its shortcut and then clicking “Show More Options” and then “Run as Administrator”. There is no guarantee this will work but it is absolutely worth a shot as it might refresh the existing licenses.
