A patent is active for its duration (generally counted as 20 years from its date of filing -- i.e., it's priority date), assuming all post-issuance fees have been paid. You can check with the patent office in the country where the patent was issued to determine its status in that country.
Patent licenses are not generally registered anywhere, although a publicly owned company may describe them in their financial statements.
