Error 291 - License could not be verified

Post by Andrewski » Thu Jan 28, 2016 3:45 am

Hey, I just bought the app on Google play and downloaded it using Raccoon APK downloader. I sideloaded the file and installed it, and allowed internet access through AFWall+ but it is giving me error 291 and says the license could not be verified.

I am using OmniRom 5.1.1 on Google Nexus (flo). I don't have google play services installed on my device. I sure hope I can get this to work, I have not had any issues sideloading other apps from the play store.

I'm afraid that the app requires Google Play services installed since they're what's used for the license verification. Is it possible for you to install Gapps? There's a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/motorol ... a-t3147007

That's unfortunate. This is the first paid app (outside of the ones that require in-app purchases) I've bought that has not worked without Play Services, though I am sure there are others. For privacy and security reasons, I refuse to install a framework that can monitor, delete, and modify my apps at any time.

Any chance I can get a refund outside the 2 hour window? I would gladly repurchase a version that doesn't require Google DRM.
