Not sure exactly what you mean: are you implying your professional licence is lapsed? Most PPL types don't have type ratings anyway.
Assuming you have a type that requires a type rating, you need to do a Licence Proficiency Check (JAA speak for C of T) and have done 2 hours in the proceeding 12 months (includes test). Up to 5 years from last validity date, the examiner (TRE for a type) can do this plus any other training he deems necessary. More than 5 years, the CAA need to determine requirements, normally ground school plus further training.
You will obviously need a valid medical too. However, this combination gives you a valid professional licence.. so what's the question all about?
It's too late to root around for AICs!
