Hi,
active means that the LightstreamerClient instance "knows" about the Subscription and will subscribe it to the server as soon as it can. The Subscription becomes active when you pass it to the LightstreamerClient using the subscribe method and is back to an inactive status if you call the unsubscribe method for it.
Subscribed means that the LightstreamerClient has sent the subscription to the Lightstreamer server and got an ack from it. If a LightstreamerClient loses its connectio to the server the Subscription loses its subscribed status but will still be active until you call the unsubscribe method.
A subscribed Subscription is always active.
