Read QCSB Entitlement Health on the Status Tab
This article explains how to interpret Base/Effective tier, domain, verification mode, access dates, preview state, Legacy License Key state, last/next validation and task integrity.
What you need to know
- Status separates entitlement, installation/runtime, connector readiness, task integrity, and extension-update health so a provider problem is not confused with a licensing or scheduler problem.
Read these fields together
| Status field | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Base tier | The underlying purchased/base product entitlement. |
| Effective tier | The capabilities QCSB may use now after Base tier, All Access, or an active Max Preview is resolved. |
| Verification / Domain | Whether current Authorized-Domain verification is healthy for the normalized domain. |
| Preview / access dates | Known server-authoritative limits that bound temporary/purchased premium access. |
| Legacy License Key | Compatibility/history only when an old saved key exists; not the current licensing workflow. |
| Last checked / Next automatic check | When entitlement was last confirmed and when the canonical hourly revalidation is expected again. |
Do not read entitlement in isolation
Above-Basic use also depends on the canonical Entitlement Revalidation task remaining structurally healthy and running no slower than hourly. A provider failure is not automatically an entitlement failure; use the separate connector/readiness sections on Status to distinguish them.
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.
