# Terminate subscription

You can terminate a subscription if you no longer need it or don't want it to renew. 

Subscriptions are linked to agreements; therefore, the termination process depends on the number of active subscriptions in the agreement.

* If an agreement contains several active subscriptions and you want to cancel some, but not all of them, you must place a termination order for the specific subscription. For details, see [Terminating a subscription](#terminate-subscription).
* If the agreement contains several subscriptions and you want to cancel all subscriptions, you must terminate the entire agreement. You can do this by placing a termination order. For details, see [Terminate an agreement](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/marketplace/agreements/terminate-agreements). 

### Before you begin

Before terminating your subscriptions, note the following points:

* You can only terminate active subscriptions. Subscriptions in [any other state](https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/modules-and-features/marketplace/subscriptions/subscription-states) can't be terminated.
* Creating a termination order doesn't guarantee the subscription cancellation. Termination orders are sent to vendors for approval.
