Change to the Stata installation directory, typically /usr/local/stata17, rename the license file, and rerun the license initialization program as the superuser, i.e:

% sudo -s
# cd /usr/local/stata17
# mv stata.lic stata.lic.bak
# ./stinit

This will make a backup of your existing license file and then prompt you for the new license information.
