Please help me, i have two different Nintendo Switch consoles, they are both good to program with CFW, but because they are on OFW 8.1.0 i can no longer activate the SXOS licenses, ..here is what happens: i am on ofw 8.1.0 and sxos 2.8 and i can generate the "license request.dat", then retrieve the "license.dat" with no problem, but when i try to load the sxos 2.8 cfw it gives me the error (oh no, the license.dat file on your microSD card is invalid for this switch console).

i have tried everything you said in this forum , reformat the microsd to exfat, to fat32, tried different sizes of microsd, different brands, all excellent quality, tried with 2.5.3 stable sxos for the (license request.dat), then retrieve again the license.dat and overwriting the boot.dat with the 2.8 but nothing works....
also i would like to point out that i have activated hundreds of sxos licenses on different NSwitch before with no issues until 8.1.0......please any help would be appreciated.

Well that message means exactly what is says. It's not valid for the Switch you are using it on. It was activated with on another Switch. Either it was sold to you already activated by someone else or you are trying to use a pro dongle that has already had its licensed used to boot another Switch. You can use a pro dongle on multiple Switches, but those other Switches need to be booted with tegraRCMgui first so that the proper licenses request file can be created.

If that is not the case you should reach out to whoever sold you license to rectify the issue. There is no way to reset the license.
