Error -59, Vegas won't boot, claims I don't have a license when I do

I got vegas pro 18 from a humble bundle. I've been having infinite issues rendering a video that I spent WEEKS working on, literally all day every day. Then I completely run out of memory on my C: drive so I start uninstalling programs. I uninstalled some product called "sound forge" from the same bundle, that I never intended to use. Now vegas won't boot, it gives me error -59 and says that I don't have a license when I absolutely do.

Please see if the suggestion in the last comment here helps.

Just to say the two most common reasons for error -59 no licence is that either the e-mail submitted it not the e-mail used when buying Vegas or the e-mail used has a space accidently added in the e-mail submission box.

Thank y'all, but I found that a reinstall worked fine. I was really really really hesitant to try that, because I know I got the program sometime in 2022-2023 and didn't know if I could find my activation code again. Additionally, I've spent several days messing with settings to unsuccessfully get my video to render, and I was afraid of losing all of those settings in the uninstall/reinstall process. I appreciate y'all for the rapid replies though! Wish me luck, I hope I don't have to bother y'all again ❤️

@Gan, when you installed VP18, you had to create a Magix account. You can always log into that and get the serial number and download link.
