Eric, If you are just wanting a copy of the License Changer plugin, you can still download it from here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161204021339/http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/17960/license-changer (download link works, though this is for NB8.2) I checked some later dates, but didn't see that the License Changer plugin was ever updated beyond NB8.2. At least you will be able to have it back in your installation, and I've not had problems with a lot of the old plugins from the 8.x days working in NB as late as 12.4 and 12.6, so there's hope that it will work...
