Certificate States

In the Marketplace Platform, a certificate goes through several states (also known as statuses) during its lifecycle.

The following diagram shows the possible states and the transitions between these states:

Certificate state transition

State	Definition
New	This is the initial status, and it's assigned by the platform when the certificate request is created.
Pending	The certificate has been created, and it's awaiting approval by the vendor.
Active	The certificate is active.
Expired	The certificate has expired. You can renew an expired certificate by re-enrolling in the program.
Updating	The certificate is being updated due to re-enrollment in the program.
Terminated	The certificate has been terminated. Terminated certificates can't be used to re-enroll in a program.
