IAG Compatibility with Itential Platform
All supported versions of Itential Automation Gateway (IAG) are tested for compatibility with supported versions of Itential Platform. However, IAG 5.1 is only compatible with Platform 6 and 2023.2. Please note that new features added in various versions of IAG might not be available in all versions of Itential Platform because a specific version of the Platform may lack the functionality to make use of that feature.
Refer to the following table to identify the IAG versions compatible with Itential Platform versions.
| Itential Platform Version | IAG/2022.1 | IAG/2023.1 | IAG/2023.2 | IAG/2023.3 | IAG/4.3 | IAG/5.1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Itential Cloud - Hosted Version 2023.2 (as of March 1, 2025) |

If a version of Itential Platform does not provide support for a feature in a version of IAG, the versions remain compatible, but Itential Platform will not be able to use that feature in IAG.
IAG Versioning Practices
All supported versions of IAG are assigned unique identifiers (version numbers) to help manage different versions and releases of the software to ensure customers can access the correct version they need.
Here's an explanation of how Itential names IAG versions to help you understand the nature of changes between versions:
-
Component Version - This identifies the build version of the Platform application (i.e., IAG) distributed in a maintenance release. For each change made to the source code as part of a development build, whether it's a bug fix or improvement, there is a
componentversion bump. Components are versioned independently of product release versions. Also, multiple builds can be created for a single Release Version. -
Release Version - This identifies the Platform release version of IAG made available to customers in a maintenance release. Release versioning helps to track different iterations of the software and increments each month as part of the maintenance release.
Each versioning scheme is purposely designed to provide a structured mechanism of releasing and tracking Itential's product versions, enabling developers to identify bugs more efficiently and maintain code integrity.
