Error contacting server even if the internet connection is fine

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some of my customers regularly get the ERROR_CONTACTING_SERVER response, even 
though they can browse the Internet just fine. I have had one occasion where I 
could reproduce it myself using a tester account and no amount of clearing the 
play store's cache, restarting or whatever could get it from resolving. The 
only thing that helps and also does for my customers is to remove their Google 
account from settings and add the same account again.

I am getting the impression that there may be a limit in how many times an app 
can use the lvl in a certain short time period before the lvl gives this 
response because my latest app can contact the license server more frequently 
than my other apps and this issue happens much more often, although it seems to 
happen sometimes for my older apps as well.

Any hints?
