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.

It depends where you are, I think. Certainly the canal towpath nearest
to me (Cromford Canal) is mostly public footpath. It's all been
surveyed, and the designation has been added fairly conservatively, i.e.
only where there's signage, and even on that basis most is still public
footpath.
Before the BWB to CRT transition, there was no public right of way on
bicycle on most English towpaths. You needed an explicit licence,
although the licence was free and really only about agreeing to safety
and other usage rules.
