re-enabled

Made functional again

Re-enabled means restored to a functional or active state after having been disabled.

Software features get re-enabled after updates, accounts get re-enabled after suspension, buttons get re-enabled after graying out: The administrator re-enabled her access to the system.

The word appears almost exclusively in technical contexts.
