Katalon Studio UI Freezes on Start

I am trying to load Katalon Studio and found it is hanging upon loading my project in the UI, which automatically loads. On checking the log, I see the error: Can’t find Variable changeMode. I have to reboot to remove the UI, as kill Katalon and Katalon.sh does not end the UI. My trial license has come to an end, so maybe that is the problem, but I cannot load Katalon and cannot continue work on it. I removed the project bin folder, lib folder, and .project file to no avail. I cannot use Katalon at this point.

Please let us know how would your work be affected if this issue I cannot continue my job and have to work on something else while awaiting your response
