Subscription states
Figure 1. Subscription states
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| New | The user has subscribed, but some action is pending before it can be moved to the Active state (for example, approval is pending). This subscription may move to the active state once the pending action is completed. |
| Active | When all pending activities are completed and if resource needs to be provisioned, on successful provisioning of resource, the subscription moves to the active state. The subscription is now in use and the user is charged for it. |
| Expired | The subscription has been terminated by the user. A subscription moves from New to Active and remains in the Active state until it is terminated by the user. The user is charged for the subscription in the billing period in which the subscription is terminated. |
| Cancelled | The subscription is not approved either because the payment does not happen or there is a workflow configured for subscription activation and the master user does not approve or for any other reason. The subscription is moved to the Cancelled state either by CPBM or by the user. The user is not charged for the subscription. |
