To test this, I created a restricted profile on my N7 (2012). It is running Lollipop so it isn't a true apples/apples test, but as I don't have a jelly bean device...

In any event, it works for me. CC can connect.

The steps I took:
  1. Add a security pattern to the main account. This or a password is required to create a restricted profile (as you certainly know).
  2. Create the restricted profile. Name it "Restricted".
  3. Allow CC and Moon+ Pro apps. Change nothing else.
  4. Start CC. Connect. This works because CC gives you a license grace period because the Google servers might take some time to update the license.
  5. Wait 1 hour for CC's grace period timer to expire.
  6. In CC's wireless device settings, turn on "Allow 3G". I did this so that I can attempt to connect with WiFi off, meaning the license server checker will be unable to talk to the Google servers and thus fail.
  7. Turn off WiFi. Attempt to connect. I get the unlicensed error as expected.
  8. Turn on WiFi. Attempt to connect. It works. No error.
I connected several times to be sure that working wasn't a fluke. I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

One thing: be sure that the tablet has a WiFi connection to the internet. If it does not then the license check will never succeed.

Another thing you can try that might work: switch to the admin account, start CC and connect to calibre. This will cache the "licensed" response for a time. Switch to the restricted account and try to connect. If the license cache is shared between the accounts (I don't know if it is) then connections will work for a time.

As for the other paid apps that work: I don't know why that it. It easily could be that the developer didn't bother with licensing, especially if the app is a high-priority of pirates.
