I think a major reason behind Inventor having more licensed seats is because almost all of Project Lead The Way's engineering classrooms use Inventor. Since Project Lead The Way is a national curriculum program, that is a lot of classrooms with each classroom needing between 10 and 30 seats.

The education market (K-College Students and Schools) is huge for software companies and is really that place they go to to build (or maintain) their future user base. If Software A is being used by more students than its competitor, Software B, then when students that used Software A graduate and join the work force, companies will almost be force to migrate to Software A due to the fact that most people know how to use it.
