If it's inactive it's because it's not been applied to any project. Is it part of a workflow scheme?

Has that workflow scheme been applied to a project?

Ok, start here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Activating+Workflow

A workflow scheme is what ties a workflow to an issue type. It decides what workflow each issue type has. Bugs may have a bug workflow, tasks may have a task workflow....

Decide which issue type(s), your workflow will be applied to then create a workflow scheme.

you list of available issue types if defined by your Issue Type scheme

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Configuring+Workflow+Schemes

then associate it with your project

if you have data already there, you will have to go through a short migration process
