Use the QCDR Status Tab to Check Installation and Entitlement Health

The Status tab is QCDR's primary administrator health view. It combines the current entitlement result, installation identity, Joomla update state, and the integrity of the Scheduled Task required for entitlement above Basic.

Current Entitlement

The Current Entitlement card shows:

  • Status — the current entitlement state;
  • Base tier — the underlying Basic, Pro, or Max entitlement;
  • Effective tier — what QCDR may use now after preview, task health, expiration, and grace are resolved;
  • Verification — how the entitlement was resolved;
  • Domain — the hostname being checked;
  • Access until and, when active, Max Preview ends;
  • Last checked and Next automatic check; and
  • a masked Legacy license key only when upgraded compatibility state still exists.

If a bounded communication grace window is active, QCDR also identifies when that grace ends.

Installation Identity

The Installation card shows the QCDR product code, installed version, current domain, and Installation UUID. These values are useful when comparing an installation with a QuantaCade account or support case.

Extension Update

The Extension Update card shows Installed version, Available version, Update site state, Keyless Basic updates, and Last checked. Use Check for Updates to run Joomla extension-update discovery. When Joomla has a newer QCDR package and the user can manage the Joomla Installer, QCDR exposes Upgrade Dynamic Replacer.

Entitlement Automation Integrity

This card checks the QCDR task plugin and canonical Entitlement Revalidation Scheduled Task. Review:

  • Task plugin state;
  • number of published canonical tasks;
  • validation cadence;
  • Last execution and Last exit code; and
  • Next execution.

Above-Basic entitlement requires a structurally healthy task running at least hourly. A missing, disabled, unpublished, duplicated, or too-slow task forces QCDR to Effective Basic until repaired.

Use Status Before Changing Configuration

If a paid feature unexpectedly locks, first check Current Entitlement and Entitlement Automation Integrity. Use Refresh Entitlement only after confirming the task structure is healthy, and use Open Scheduled Tasks when execution timing or an exit code needs deeper inspection.
