Issue Description:

The Get Assets VPP License Management API (both 1.0.0 & 2.0.0) should return the assets with the adamIds of Apps available in App Store. For some location tokens, from this API, we get adamIds that are not available in App Store. The contentMetaData API doesn't return any response for these adamIds and they are not B2B apps too. How can we identify if the adamIds are of the apps that are removed from App Store? Or are we missing anything here? Kindly help us with this case.

Yes so it is possible that an asset returned in the getAssets response is not available but was in the past. An empty response from the contentMetadata API would be sufficient in denoting that the asset is no longer available.
