PS3: Fix "This content can be used if you renew the licence in playstation store" for PSN games

If you ever find yourself in this situation, you can always rely on some pre-made software to fix your problem. However, knowing how the hell to use it is another story!

Preparation

First of all, you'll need the infamous RAP files. Download a program called PSNStuff by LoOzers to find the game you want and save the RAP file.

  • Download reactPSN 2.25
  • Copy pkg files for reactPSN and your game to USB:/
  • Copy the game RAP files into usb:/exdata/
  • Make sure you're not connected to PSN (being online is fine though)

The magic

  • Plug the USB into the right USB port (it's the 2nd from the left if looking at it horizontally)

  • Install the game + any updates
  • Install reactPSN
  • Create a new user called "aa"
  • Switch to "aa"
  • With the usb still plugged in, run reactPSN
  • It should restart and display the log-in screen
  • The "aa" profile should have renamed itself to some status message
  • Log into your usual non-aa profile
  • Remove usb drive (you're done with it)
  • Your game should now work.

*update 30/4/2013* Updated sources and instructions about RAP files.
