Restore Licenses
Restoring the licenses means refreshing the digital rights of your purchased games, add-ons, and apps on the console. It can be handy when facing issues with the games and apps downloaded from the PlayStation Store and also helps sync data with the PS servers.

Clear Console Cache
Clearing the PS5 cache will delete the outdated and faulty data within the cache storage to make space for newer information, thereby eliminating errors. Therefore, we performed a cache clear and fixed the error CE-107891-6.
Rebuild PS5 Database
Rebuilding the database is another way to clear the persisting cache and reorganize the data in the system’s storage. Consequently, it rids the PS5 of corrupt and problematic files, which fixed the error on our console.
Reinstall The Problematic Game/App
Another option is to delete the game from the console and reinstall it from the PS Store. This will bring in a fresh set of data for the game. Many users found it as an instant fix to the error, so we tested it and found it effective as well.
Use the following method:
- Move to Settings > Storage.
- Pick Console Storage > Games And Apps.

Update PS5 Software
We always recommend keeping your devices up-to-date with the latest software. After updating our PS5 to the latest OS version, we noted that the error was gone.
Initialize PS5
Initializing the PS5 will switch all the settings to factory default and erase all the games and data stored on the hard disk. We only recommend resorting to this when other solutions fail and the PS5 error CE-107891-6 persists.
