# Entitlement states

Entitlement refers to the item you have purchased, along with the quantity you are allowed to use. 

An entitlement can be in one of these states: **Active** or **Terminated**. These states indicate whether the entitlement is currently valid or has been cancelled in the Marketplace Platform.

The following table describes the different states:

<table data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th width="152">State</th><th>Definition</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Active</strong></td><td>The entitlement is created as a result of a purchase order, and it's now available for use. This is the default state for entitlements that are currently in effect.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Terminated</strong></td><td>The entitlement is terminated and no longer valid. This can happen if the agreement or subscription associated with the entitlement is canceled. Once the entitlement moves to <strong>Terminated</strong>, it can’t return to <strong>Active</strong>. </td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/marketplace/entitlements/entitlement-states.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
