What have you got so far?

This is not a script writing service.

You can use get-content to read the file and select-string to look for your error.

Start there and see what you can come up with with a little google-fu, then if you are stuck, post what you have and we will try to help

If you want to read a file, you can use Get-Content. If you want to search a file for a string, you may use Select-String. Select-String supports simple (non-regex) and regex matching. Select-String also supports reading a file line by line, which will work fine in your case.

# file to check
$LogFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\SysTrack\LsiAgent.log"
# check for string in file contents
if (Select-String -Path $LogFile -Pattern 'License not found' -SimpleMatch) {
    # write message to console only
    Write-Host 'No License on the selected server so changing the reg' -ForegroundColor Red
    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Lakeside Software\Deploy' -Name 'MasterSystem' -Value 'INSVCSIISM.IN.AS.COM' -Force
}
else {
    # write message to console only
    Write-Host 'No License Issue Found' -ForegroundColor Green
}
