Each license in Key Administrator can be in one of the four possible
states:
- Active - an active, usable license.
-
Suspended - a license is temporarily disabled. Typically this is
done to stop suspicious activity with this license, if such is
detected. -
Expired - a license was not renewed on time and, therefore,
became expired. Typically, this happens when a customer who uses
pre-paid scheme does not pay on time. -
Terminated - the final state. A canceled, unusable license with
no possibility to revert changes back.
