you can open a *.hipnc file in a commercial version of Houdini > BUT > that session of Houdini becomes a non-commercial session
you can open a *.hip file in Houdini Apprentice, but if you save it you can only save a *.hipnc (non-commercial file)

What about using the OpScript command in hscript?
The opscript command let you save any part of a Houdini network as
a set of hscript commands by redirecting the standard output of opscript ( with options ) to a file.
You can then source this script from ‘i suppose’ any Houdini other version, since it's just a ascii file.
Yet there may be some limitations: for example some commands may not be the same across different versions. Maybe it doesn't work with OTLs and maybe it doesn't save things like hotkeys or preferences.
Anyway, i suggest you to have a look at this powerful opscript command.
hint: if you save a whole scene, that is differents networks, save the different
networks separately , and be careful that then, you'll have to source some networks first since for
example SHOP, SOP, COP, POP may rely on VOP,
so source the VOP first!
Since i only use the apprentice version, i can just hope that this will work for your case.
I can't see why it couldn't!
The other question : is this allowed.

well…the software will allow you to do it….but it does go against the spirit of the Apprentice version (which is the best ‘demo’ version out there)…
from the Apprentice FAQ :
Q: It seems like geometry files and VEX code can be exported from Houdini Apprentice Edition and opened in commercial Houdini. Is this true?
A. The Houdini Apprentice Program encourages you to experiment with the pipeline integration available with these export functions. Please be reminded that your participation in the program is under a non-commercial license and files should only be used for learning purposes.
