Licensing and Features
Licensing
Nexus IQ Server powers multiple Nexus solutions, including Lifecycle, Auditor, Firewall, and Lifecycle Foundation. Each solution's corresponding license controls access to IQ Server tools and features. You may have access to some 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 table below breaks down the various solutions (licenses) and their corresponding products.
Solution (License) | Product (What's Installed) |
|---|---|
| Nexus Lifecycle | Nexus IQ Server |
| Nexus Lifecycle Foundation | Nexus IQ Server |
| Nexus Auditor | Nexus IQ Server |
Nexus Firewall* | Nexus IQ Server + |
Feature Matrix
As shown above, you may install the same product (Nexus IQ Server) regardless of which license you purchase. Use the matrix below to understand the features each license unlocks.
