Understanding QCUI's Free Feature Set and No-License Model

Understanding QCUI's Free Feature Set and No-License Model explains the current QCUI 1.0.03 behavior and how it affects a Super User who needs to inspect the Joomla frontend as an eligible user.

Current edition

QCUI 1.0.03 is completely free. There is no Basic/Pro/Max split, no Authorized-Domain check, no license key, no activation screen, and no time-limited preview.

Included functionality

• Super-User-only administrator launcher.
• One-time short-lived frontend handoff.
• Strict target validation.
• Separate impersonated frontend session.
• Visible draggable impersonation banner.
• End impersonation to guest without logging the target out elsewhere.
• Internal token/audit evidence tables.

What to expect in Joomla

The only current plugin parameter is Handoff token lifetime. If an older screenshot or note describes licensing or a separate management component, it does not reflect the active 1.0.03 implementation.

Operational context

For Understanding QCUI's Free Feature Set and No-License Model, remember that QCUI has no separate component dashboard or remote authorization service. The System plugin owns the launcher/handoff/banner behavior locally inside Joomla. If what you see differs from these instructions, verify the installed plugin version and active Joomla template/session configuration before assuming another QCUI screen or service exists.
