Using a previous year TurboTax version on a new computer without paying for the State again

It is March 2026. Last year I bought TurboTax Deluxe (Federal only) for TY2024, but then added a state from inside the software. (I can see the purchase in my TurboTax account.) I need to use it again, so installed it on a new computer. That was fine as I still had some activations left, and the installation went fine. However, when I try to double click my .tax2024 file from last year, there is an "Error 190", but it takes me to the State download page. When I choose my state, it wants me to pay for the state again. I am stuck being unable to open the file that I used on the same software last year. 
Any help would be appreciated.
