License Error after Quartus Version Update

Existing Quartus license works fine for versions 13 and 15. I need to use a Cyclone V, thus the recommendation was to use Standard Quartus 22.1. After 4 hours of downloading and installing, I get this error => "Error (292030): License is not valid for this version of the Quartus Prime software. However, the specified license will continue to work for versions of the Quartus Prime software that were released before the specified license expired.".

Other people have had the same issue, but the final resolution details are not listed in any links that I have reviewed. This should be pretty straightforward question since it has been seen by many people. What are the license issues\details that will not allow an existing working license to not work with a later versions of Quartus?? I started the 4 hour process of downloading version 19.1, hoping to have better luck, but it would be better to get an explanation on why this is occurring for people. Thanks!!

P.S. Update: version 19.1 does now work either with the existing license, and gives me the same error as above.
