Did you try re-logging into the store?

Yes, I've tried incognito too.
It used to work before

Do you see steamLoginSecure cookie sent in that request?

Try manually visiting https://checkout.steampowered.com/checkout/addfreelicense you should see your avatar top right because you're logged in.

Weird, yesterday didn't work and I've tried again just now and now it works. Maybe Steam did some changes or had some issues regarding claiming free licenses and they fixed in the meantime? (The issue can be closed)

What exactly did you do that fixed it?

Absolutely nothing, just tried to claim the license(s) again and they worked without any error

If anyone else is having issues:

What to try:

  • Update the SteamDB extension to version 3.6.9.
  • Relogin into the Steam store.
  • If family view is enabled, enter the PIN on the Steam store.
  • Restart your browser.

Debugging the extension requests:

  • Go to chrome://extensions/
  • Toggle developer mode on top right
  • Click Inspect views service worker on steamdb
  • Go to network tab
  • Click add free license somewhere on steamdb
  • There should be addfreelicense request in the list, if you click it it shows stuff
  • Click on the request, then click 'Preview' tab, it should show what the Steam response was

Until there is some issue that I can repro myself, I can't fix it. It works fine for plenty of people.
