Licensing and Features
Licensing
Nexus solutions — Nexus Lifecycle, Nexus Auditor, and Nexus Firewall — are powered by Nexus IQ Server. Each solution has a corresponding license that controls the availability of IQ Server tools and features. You may have access to a portion or all of IQ Server tools and features depending on the solution you purchased.
In general, when we are talking about a solution, we are referring a particular license (e.g. Nexus Lifecycle vs. Nexus Firewall ) and the features it unlocks. In contrast, when we describe a product, we specifically mean the thing you will install (e.g. Nexus IQ Server). The various solutions (licenses) and their corresponding product are broken down in the table below:
Solution (License) |
Product (What's Installed) |
|---|---|
| Nexus Auditor | Nexus IQ Server |
Nexus Firewall* |
Nexus IQ Server + |
| Nexus Lifecycle | Nexus IQ Server |
