Issue:

When configuring Vault software, you want to know how to configure the Job Processor, to not consume an Inventor license.

Solution:

After installing Vault 2018.2, or Vault 2019 (or later), the Job Processor will no longer use "Standard" Inventor to process its jobs. Instead, the Job processor uses a new engine called "Inventor Server". Inventor Server is a "headless" version of Inventor (it has no user interface) and does not require any license.
