Deactivated MATLAB license on one computer but would not activate on another

I recently renewed an older MATLAB licence that was validated for testing purposes against a laptop. However, I decided to move this license to another computer. I uninstalled all software from the original computer and clicked, deactivate. Today I can't use my licensed softare on my new destination computer.

That can happen if you exceed the number of transfers that are permitted in a one-year period.
