Not everything running in Inventor or other programs is running in 64
bit mode. There's a lot of "universal code" in about all packages
(Autodesk, Adobe, Techsmith, Accounting packages, even Microsoft that is
still 32 bit code, and shared with both 32 and 64 bit OS's. The Flex
licensing system, Vault, ADMS, and other modules are 32 bit. That's also
why you have a Programs Files adn Program Files (x86 ) folder on your
system. the 32 bit apps reside in the latter.
Open your (x86) folder and you will be astounded just how many apps from
everyone is still running in 32 bit emulation. Here's a screenshot of mine:
