Refresh QCSB Entitlement and Interpret the Result

This article shows how to use the administrator entitlement refresh action and Status data, distinguish authoritative Basic/invalid outcomes from temporary transport problems, and understand bounded continuity without treating stale premium state as permanent.

Current QCSB behavior

ItemCurrent behavior
Implementation baselineQC Storage Bridge 1.01.08
Current entitlementAuthorized-Domain based; no current customer-entered license key
Max PreviewOne-time 30-Day Max Preview; starts only from the explicit administrator action

Scheduled TasksEntitlement Revalidation 60m; Transfer Continuation 5m; Recovery Vault Cleanup 60m; Notification Delivery 5m

How to do it

  1. Open Settings or Status.
  2. Click Refresh Entitlement.
  3. Read the returned message together with Status, Base tier, Effective tier, Verification, Domain, Last checked, and Next automatic check.
  4. If the result is authoritative Basic/invalid, treat premium access as unavailable. If the problem is a temporary transport failure, review the message and known expiration rather than assuming the saved premium state is permanent.
  5. Confirm the hourly Entitlement Revalidation task is healthy; above-Basic use depends on that canonical security task.

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.
