Android Licensing Error 561 (0x231)

Question

I have some applications that were transferred from another company to ours. We have had google move them to our Publisher Account. However I am trying to verify the Licensing and can only get Don't Allow with an error of 561.

I have done a lot of licensed apps and have checked permissions, PUBLIC_KEY, Test Accounts, to whole thing. I have checked versions, and tried testing the app signed and unsigned. No luck it always gives an error 561.

I cannot find anything about an error 561, does anyone know what this code means?

Did you find a solution ? I too had apps transferred from one account to another ... Is that the reason ? I noticed that the Public key has not changed after the transfer .. — Varun Verma, Jan 17 '13 at 19:53

I assume you are referring to the Method void processServerResponse(int response, ResponseData rawData); in the interface com.google.android.vending.licensing.Policy 561 is the same as 0x231 which is definde in the interafce as NOT_LICENSED. So there is an error with your license and you should check in the rawData to see why.

I was getting the same error, I spent a whole day to get rid of it. In my case, the problem was due to network security. I tried it with the different network (Personal hotspot network). It worked well.

This answer is maybe for anyone because it's late.

Make sure that you add the CHECK_LICENCE permission in the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE" />

and make sure you upload the app to the store for testing.
