I am facing the problem in licensing of my old published paid apps. Basically i have paid app which is published by version code 1. I implemented the license code on it, it working fine to me. Licensing server giving the response or allow that you can use it. But once i changed version code from 1 to 2 in manifest file, then licensing service not allow to use the app.Server giving the response dont allow. I not understanderd, y it has relation with version code? i can't publish the update version.???

Moreover, i am already login to my publisher account, i have setting of LICENSED in edit profile section.

If I'm understanding you correctly...

From the developer docs:

Once an application is uploaded and becomes known to the licensing server, developers and testers can continue modify the application in their local development environment, without having to upload new versions. You only need to upload a new version if the local application increments the versionCode attribute in the manifest file.

So basically upload (but don't publish) your licensed v2, then test v2 in the emulator - it should accept the licensing now. (You may have to "save" on the app page, but I'm not sure) If everything is good, click "Publish" to make it live.

By the way I double-checked this last night and it worked for me. I didn't have to "Save" the page either, just upload, and it can be tested.

I forgot to ask - are you using an AVD with Google APIs? And are you signed in to your developer account on that AVD? Both are required. (Note that you can also sign into the AVD using another account, then add that address as a test account on the market profile page)

HI WIRBLY. thx 4 the reply. i am testing in AVD of froyo 2.2 (Google API) and login with my market account in google account. The question is that when i changed the version from 1 to 2, goole licensing server not allowing me to use app where when i again change it to 2 from 1, its allowin me to use app. What mistake i am doing ? Please help me....

I have to admit I'm at a loss. For me, as long as I set the test mode to "LICENSED" on my profile page, and uploaded (but not published) the app, it worked perfectly during testing. (sorry about the delayed response - I wish StackOverflow had some kind of notification system)
