This error suggests that the coverage (which could refer to a maintenance plan, service contract, or similar entity) is not currently active, preventing certain operations from being performed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inactive Coverage: The primary cause of this error is that the maintenance plan or coverage you are trying to use is set to an inactive status. This could be due to:
  
  The coverage being manually set to inactive.
  The coverage being expired or not valid for the current date.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that dictate when a coverage can be considered active or inactive.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Coverage Status:
