Applicaton - Checking License - Not Valid

[0pLuS0]

Hello,

Hopefully I can just keep this brief without a lot of system detail(s).

On the download section, I downloaded all these latest stable versions;

Services Core
Services Framework Proxy
Store (FakeStore release)
DroidGuard Helper
UnifiedNlp

Xposed Installer 3.1.5 - Framework version 90-beta3
FakeGapps 2.0
Yalp Store 0.42

I installed the H2O Icon Pack for Oreo, and when I click it's icon in the apps drawer, it opens, then gives me a popup; checking license, not sure how to get around this? I've been reading quite a bit online in regards to this license checking, but I thought with all of the apps I have installed above, it would solve this issue? This is also a free app...

This is license check from H20;

Also a popup from Moonrise Icon Pack, about license not valid;

microG doesn't support license check (at least yet), so currently the only way is to remove FakeStore and replace it with the real PlayStore.

PlayStore can work togheter with microG and license check will most likely work.

You could try to remove license verification with LuckyPatcher.

@AreYouLoco Let's not suggest people circumvent license verification, even if they purchased a license.

This I realize is some stupid Google thing going on.

This happens when you download a free app, that has a paid version as well.

But I find it odd, if someone wants to only use the Free version, it still has to be verified, which makes no sense, since no one is pirating anything.

It would be great if Google or whoever deals with this, could remove the stupid verification when you are simply using a free app...

For now, my rom is pretty much Gapps free, and that certainly means no bloody Play Store. I just use F-Droid to avoid this rubbish...

Google -1 LOL

Alright waket wakey, This has to be figured out

How does one figure out what call is being made to the fakestore?

[PrecisionMind]

Has there been any progress toward this? Or is the best option still to replace FakeStore with modded PlayStore?

[ale5000-git]

If I remember correctly they (icon packs) say it when the app isn't installed from Play Store, so if this is the cases there is nothing to fix in microG.

[PrecisionMind]

This is for apps that check for a license when they are run for the first time or every time they are opened. I guess I was looking to see if there was a solution that didn't require pre-planning when installing the LOS with microG where you replace FakeStore with modded PlayStore right away using root.

You can add a Google account to microG but can't validate licenses. I believe that's the topic this open issue is for?

For me license checks work if the app was initially installed via Play Store. I've used this Magisk module to temporarily get the Play Store for initial installation and I'm updating my apps via Aurora Store. When I don't need it I disabled that module again. I'm not sure what I did but this passes the license check for the few paid apps (including some icon packs).

[ale5000-git]

What I'm saying is that some free icon packs actually lie about doing a license check but instead they actually check if the app is installed via Play Store.

In cases where it hasn't been noticed, microG has been supporting license verification for some time now.
You must update both microG Services and microG Companion and enable the corresponding options in microG settings.
It may not work with all apps but it already work in many cases.
