Matlab License: License checkout failed. License Manager Error -9

Im on Linux Manjaro. I tried everything that came to my mind but I'm still getting this error:

[john@john-pc bin]$ sudo ./matlab
License checkout failed.
License Manager Error -9

I ran ./activate_matlab.sh and activated it through the license file AND login into MathWorks online. I deleted the installation .lic in R2020a/license/ and created a new one. I tried creating a license file with every mac address I could find. Nothing works. I keep getting this error. Only once I managed to use Matlab, which was right after installing it. Then after the first time closing it I'm I have been stuck on this error for 2 days. Please help me.
