This article explains how to troubleshoot the “License Expired - The license for this app needs to be refreshed. Please try again” message on Amazon Fire OS devices like Fire TV Stick.

The “License Expired” message is related to Amazon’s app licensing system, not ScreenCloud. This issue can affect any app on your Fire TV device and is typically resolved by refreshing or syncing your Amazon app data.

To fix the issue, try the following steps:

  1. Sync Amazon Content

  2. Clear the ScreenCloud App Cache

  3. Update or Reinstall the ScreenCloud App

  4. Remove Unused or Outdated Apps

    • Delete any apps you no longer use to free up storage and reduce potential conflicts.

  5. Restart Your Device

    • Unplug your Fire TV from power for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in. This can help refresh app licenses and system performance.

  6. Check Other Apps

    • If other apps also display the “License Expired” message, this confirms the issue is with Amazon’s licensing system rather than ScreenCloud.

If the error persists after these steps, please reach out directly to Amazon Support for further assistance.
