Solid Edge CAD Software (or other similar programs) Compatability

Right, basically I have some coursework to do involving CAD drawings. The university obviously operate using the academic version of the software (Solid Edge V18), it's on the university computers, they give out CDs with it on, etc.

My problem is that I have the commercial version, and I'm not sure whether they are cross-compatible. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be, but someone pointed it out the other day so I thought I better check before I do several hours of work only for them to be unable to open it.

So, academic and commercial versions of Solid Edge V18, files compatible with each other or not?

Hmm, suppose I better e-mail them and find out.

Cheers.

Either of you know about compatibility issues between any other program's versions?

Really want to straighten this out before I start doing loads of work on it, surely the part files etc will be compatible in all versions?

Enjoy, thanks for your help.
