The Java bridge still exists (I think just the name is not ION
anymore). There is also a COM bridge. But I also never used them
myself, except for just running an application that used the Java

If you made a runtime version of your application, it would not need a
license to run. It seems that it could be made a console application,
taking arguments from the command line, and if its output is just an
image, it could save it to a file.
