Understanding the Free Edition and Included Features

QC Update Laboratory 1.01.14 includes every current feature free; there is no hidden paid tier behind production push, rollback, reports, or private laboratories.

What “all features included” means

• No license key field.
• No activation or domain entitlement step.
• No trial or preview countdown.
• No Basic/Pro/Max plan selection.
• No feature gate around laboratory testing, report download, production push, or eligible temporary rollback.

Upgrade cleanup

The free-edition conversion removed stored license parameters, activation data, license-revalidation tasks, All Access quote cache, and license query data while preserving operational laboratory/package/checkpoint/report/settings data needed for continued use.

Updates remain normal Joomla updates

QCUL continues to use its Joomla update site without a download key. Use the Status tab or Joomla’s extension updater to obtain future package releases.

Practical administration note

For Understanding the Free Edition and Included Features, make changes from the live Joomla administrator and verify the result in the same QCUL tab before starting laboratory work. QCUL’s streamlined 1.01.14 interface intentionally hides developer storage paths, raw batch controls, licensing fields, and retired management screens; do not look for those older controls as part of the current procedure.
