"It depends."
If you do the "iClone Render" option (and I despise that terminology, and said so to Reallusion), it will export the Iray .mi files and start rendering, and then you can continue using iClone. But if you close iClone, it will also stop the Iray render process. (I reported that, too. It should continue with the Iray render.)
This issue has been confirmed and will be fixed in the next update (1.11). Thanks for the feedback. :)
