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
| 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 or Status.
- Click Refresh Entitlement.
- Read the returned message together with Status, Base tier, Effective tier, Verification, Domain, Last checked, and Next automatic check.
- 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.
- 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.
