What will happen when we uninstall the toolbox?
I never hoped to think about that - I use toolbox and love it have like five IDEs installed, I keep that up to date, use the toolbox to launch the projects, and so on.
But we were just threatened that it will be deleted from our machines soon because it's 'not an authorized application'. Parallel to getting it authorized...
What would happen if the toolbox would be uninstalled, remote by some admin. Would it remove all IDEs installed through toolbox too or would they still be usable?
Assuming, they'd be deleted, would it be possible to switch from 'managed' Applications to separately installed one and keeping all the projects and configurations?
Assuming, they'd be removed - would it be possible to copy and paste the files of the IDEs to another place outside the toolbox so that I could continue using the Applications?
Cheers,
Andreas

Uninstalling Toolbox app will keep all the apps/settings available, you will be able to start IDEs using the executables in the bin directory or the corresponding shortcuts (you may need to create them for your convenience).
If the entire Toolbox directory is deleted from the file system by some third-party utility, you will no longer have the apps installed.
You will still have your Configuration directory: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory for the IDEs and will need to install the IDEs again from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html. When you start the IDE, it will use the existing configuration directory automatically and will show all your recent projects.
However, any third-party plug-in you had installed will be gone. You will need to install them again or use JetBrains account sync feature to restore the plug-ins.
You can create backups of the IDE folders manually if you are afraid they will be removed, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519.
