Hello Google AI Support Team I’m having a problem when I try to activate the Visual Studio Code extension in Genmini code assist.
I am writing to report error #3501 that I am experiencing in Visual Studio Code with the Gemini Code Assist extension.
The exact error message is: “You do not have a valid license of this produc. Please contact your administrator to request a license. If you are not an enterprise user and believe you are receiving this message as an error, please try using the latest version and logging in again. (#3501)”
I want to clarify that I am a paying subscriber to Google AI Pro, using a standard personal account, not an enterprise or Google Workspace account. Despite my active paid subscription, my requests are being incorrectly routed to the cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com backend, which requires a Gemini Code Assist Enterprise license that I do not have
Technical details of my case:
-
Error Code: #3501 (SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED / error_number: 1001)
-
Status: PERMISSION_DENIED / HTTP 403
-
Error ID: [Paste your Error ID here if you have it]
-
Trajectory ID: [Optional, if available]
-
Trace ID: [Optional, if available]
-
Domain: cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com
I have tried troubleshooting by signing out, restarting VS Code, removing Windows credentials, and updating the extension, but the issue persists in an endless loop.
I kindly request that you review my account status and reset the backend routing flag so my personal account can access the service. Thank you very much for your help.
