Launcher 20.3.8 – Engine Versions empty, "+" greyed out, "found 0 entitled apps"

Summary

Unreal Engine > Library in Epic Games Launcher 20.3.8 shows no engine versions. The “+” next to Engine Versions is greyed out and “Install Engine” does nothing. The EULA never appears, so I cannot install Unreal Engine 5.8. Could you please check the Unreal Engine entitlement on my account (display name: Paul-steel-balls)?
