What is IQ Server?

IQ Server does not have its own user interface and is not a standalone product.

When you purchase one of our IQ Server-powered solutions (i.e., Lifecycle, Developer, SBOM Manager, or Firewall), you will need to download and install IQ Server binaries. The actual solutions you see in the user interface are determined by your license type. You may only use Lifecycle, or you may use the entire IQ Server solution suite! Many of our integrations also interact with IQ Server.

When you manage configurations, user accounts, applications, and policies, you are interacting with IQ Server. Those configurations then apply to your IQ Server-powered solutions.
