Notes:

Vault Server edition MUST be the same version as Autodesk Software installed on the workstations, otherwise workstations will not be able to access the data from Vault Server. E.g. Vault Server 2025 and Inventor Professional 2025. Don't listen to Autodesk Support, they will tell you that you can use different versions.. Technically you can, but it doesn't provide the required functionality for PBR.

AutoCAD LT doesn't communicate with Vault
