QC Dynamic Replacer Entitlement Revalidation Scheduled Task

QCDR uses one canonical Joomla Scheduled Task for unattended entitlement maintenance: QC Dynamic Replacer Entitlement Revalidation. It refreshes keyless Authorized Domain entitlement and is required for any Effective tier above Basic.

What the Task Does

The QCDR Task plugin exposes the canonical entitlement-revalidation routine. When Joomla runs it, QCDR performs the same server-side entitlement refresh used by the product's current licensing system and records the resulting entitlement/check timing state.

The task does not perform live HTML replacement. Normal frontend transformation is handled by the QCDR System plugin during eligible frontend requests.

Required Cadence

The canonical schedule is hourly. QCDR accepts an equal or faster schedule, but entitlement validation must not be configured slower than once every 60 minutes.

Entitlement Automation Integrity expects:

  • the QCDR Task plugin to be installed, enabled, and physically present;
  • exactly one published canonical Entitlement Revalidation task; and
  • a validation cadence of 60 minutes or faster.

Why Task Integrity Affects the Effective Tier

The hourly task is treated as part of the entitlement security model. If the plugin/task is missing, disabled, unpublished, duplicated, or structurally invalid—or if the schedule is slower than hourly—QCDR resolves the Effective tier to Basic until integrity is restored.

This structural fallback is different from a temporary network failure during an otherwise healthy validation path. Transport failures can preserve a previously confirmed paid/preview result only inside QCDR's bounded grace rules and never beyond a known expiration.

The Task Never Starts Max Preview

Automatic revalidation does not consume the one-time 30-Day Max Preview. Preview starts only when an authorized administrator explicitly chooses Start 30-Day Max Preview.

Check the Task

Open QCDR → Status → Entitlement Automation Integrity. A healthy card shows one published canonical task, an acceptable cadence, successful/recent execution information, and the next execution time. Use Open Scheduled Tasks for Joomla's full task details.
