The current Status can be found as a column on the Agreements page, or in the top right corner of a specific Agreement.

An Active Contract means that the current date is between the start and end dates of the contract.
i.e. if today's date is May 5th 2024 and the contract dates are March 1st 2024 through March 1st 2025, that contract is Active.
An Active Subscription means that the Subscription start date is before the current date, and the Subscription has not been cancelled.
