NS_E_TRACK_DOWNLOAD_REQUIRES_PURCHASE
The practical meaning of this HRESULT
NS_E_TRACK_DOWNLOAD_REQUIRES_PURCHASE means the track is known to the provider, but download requires a completed purchase.
The result comes from the content-partner entitlement check before download begins. A representative case is the user can browse and preview a song but has not acquired its download entitlement.
Evidence to preserve
track ID, offer ID, purchase receipt or entitlement, account, transaction cookie, and download callback sequence.
A narrow diagnostic run
- Record and verify: track ID, offer ID, purchase receipt or entitlement, account, transaction cookie, and download callback sequence.
- Run the controlled comparison: complete a controlled purchase in a test account or query an already-owned item from the same provider.
