# XStoreIsLicenseValid

> XStoreIsLicenseValid

# XStoreIsLicenseValid

Checks if the specified license is valid.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
bool XStoreIsLicenseValid(  
         const XStoreLicenseHandle storeLicenseHandle  
)  
```

### Parameters

*storeLicenseHandle*   \_In\_\
Type: XStoreLicenseHandle

A handle to the license.

### Return value

Type: bool

Returns true if the license is valid; returns false otherwise.

## Remarks

This API is safe to call on time-sensitive threads.

For a usage example, see [XStoreAcquireLicenseForPackageAsync](/reference/system/xstore/functions/xstoreacquirelicenseforpackageasync).
Use **XStoreIsLicenseValid** to check if a valid license was returned by [XStoreAcquireLicenseForPackageResult](/reference/system/xstore/functions/xstoreacquirelicenseforpackageresult) or [XStoreAcquireLicenseForDurablesResult](/reference/system/xstore/functions/xstoreacquirelicensefordurablesresult).
If the license is valid, you can proceed with further setup, like registering license activity based callback functions.

<Note>This function only checks the static license state when it was originally obtained from the XStoreAcquireLicense\* APIs.
If you register with [XStoreRegisterPackageLicenseLost](/reference/system/xstore/functions/xstoreregisterpackagelicenselost) and the license becomes invalid, you should reacquire a new license to get the correct state before calling this API again.</Note>
