Legacy License Keys in QCSB: Display, Clear, and Migration Behavior
This article explains read-only Legacy License Key compatibility on upgraded sites, Clear Saved Key behavior, and immediate Authorized-Domain re-resolution without deleting Storage Connections, Workspaces, transfer history, Recovery Vault data, settings, or preview history.
Current QCSB behavior
| Item | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| Implementation baseline | QC Storage Bridge 1.01.08 |
| Current entitlement | Authorized-Domain based; no current customer-entered license key |
| Max Preview | One-time 30-Day Max Preview; starts only from the explicit administrator action |
| Administrator tabs | About, Support, Status, Settings, Storage Connections, Workspaces, Recovery Vault, Frontend Design, Frontend Text |
| Scheduled Tasks | Entitlement Revalidation 60m; Transfer Continuation 5m; Recovery Vault Cleanup 60m; Notification Delivery 5m |
How to do it
- Open Settings. A saved old value appears only as a read-only Legacy License Key.
- Confirm the site has a valid Authorized-Domain entitlement before clearing the legacy value.
- Click Clear Saved Key and confirm the warning.
- QCSB clears the local legacy credential and immediately re-resolves current entitlement from Authorized Domains.
- Verify Storage Connections, Workspaces, transfer history, Recovery Vault data, settings, and preview history are still present.
Verify the result
- Status shows the expected Base tier and Effective tier.
- Verification/domain state is current and the hourly Entitlement Revalidation task is healthy.
- Stored Workspaces/connections remain intact if Effective tier falls.
Important limits and mistakes to avoid
- Do not reintroduce obsolete key-entry or short-preview instructions; 1.01.08 uses Authorized Domains and the explicit one-time 30-Day Max Preview.
