The Office Store verification web service provides a method for validating license tokens for apps for Office and SharePoint, and for accessing properties of those licenses.

To access the Office Store verification web service, set a web reference to https://verificationservice.officeapps.live.com/ova/verificationagent.svc.

The Office Store verification service also supports verifying app license tokens using REST calls. To verify an app license using REST, use the following syntax:

https://verificationservice.officeapps.live.com/ova/verificationagent.svc/rest/verify?token={token}

In this syntax, {token} is the app license token, encoded by a method that complies with RFC 2396; for example, the encodeURIComponent() function in JavaScript, or the Uri.EscapeDataString method in the .NET Framework.

You must call the service URL using the HTTPS protocol.

The Office Store verification service does not support being called from client-side code.

To support app license testing, the Office Store verification web service does not validate the encryption token or any of the attribute values of license tokens where the test attribute is set to true. However, the service does interpret the token, and all the properties of the VerifyEntitlementTokenResponse object returned by the service can be read.
