I think you're combining two separate issues.
Designated cycle route NCN4 was implemented along the K&A canal long
before 2012. There a was short time when a free license was required to
officially use it.
Whether individual people had a license or not made no difference to
it's status.
I think the problem is that bicycle= is being used for two different
purposes, which are somewhat orthogonal. One is to indicate access and
the other is to indicate designation. I think the situation is that the
designated cycle route runs over a permissive path, not a public right
of way. You either need bicycle=permissive;designated, or to have a
combined value, something like bicycle=permissive-designated. The
latter is better as the multi value notation tends to imply a union of
permissions, not an intersection.
Designating as public footpath or bridleway gives certain legal rights,
e.g. the right to not have the path obstructed, whereas designating a
permissive path as a national cycle route only gives a routing
preference. There are also long distance foot routes that often go over
permissive paths.
