Countermark Account Holders can change the status of a Countermark until it expires.

Status Types:

• Active status is the usual initial state for Countermarks
• Revoked status implies a short-term temporary interruption
• Suspended status is intended when the interruption is required for a longer period of time
• Cancelled status shows that the Countermark is now closed

The exact usage of these states is up to the Account Holder to decide and remain in place until changed again.  This provides a useful mechanism of controlling access to the Countermark information even after the Countermark has been generated and used in the field for some time.
