Educational version of inventor, what is its limitations?

[Creator Mat]

just recently i had sent a mentor of ours some parasolid files (.x_t and .x_b) and they would not open for him (he was supposed to use them to do some welding for us). Before now i didn't care about the educational banner but I am wondering if this has something to do with the files not opening. So pretty much what im asking is what does the educational banner in all the part files made by an educational version of inventor do beyond tell if a part was made in the educational version of inventor or not? and would it cause the parasolid files not to open?

Thanks
