To my knowledge unfortunately it is not possible.
Contract status from draft to active has some constraints and some actions to be performed like Invoicing the contract.
Even invoiced the status will be in Invoiced state if the time period of the contract available for service has not reached.
Once the date falls in for the contract start date then the contract status will be changed to active.
Please let us know the situation to change the contract from draft to active,so that we can analyze in detail.

" The status of the contract does not allow this action" is the message on the workflow .
As we have to invoice the contract before making it active .
