 * following information: response validity period, error retry period, and
 * error retry count.
 * <p>
 * These values will vary based on the the way the application is configured in
 * the Android Market publishing console, such as whether the application is
 * marked as free or is within its refund period, as well as how often an
 * application is checking with the licensing service.
 * <p>
 * Developers who need more fine grained control over their application's
 * licensing policy should implement a custom Policy.
