Quickest way to find out which EPiServer version you are running on a site

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15759581

Question

Are there any other places except for episerver.config where you can find out which version ("EPiServer 6" / "EPiServer 6 R2") of EPiServer the site was built on?

Usually I look in episerver.config and compare those numbers to the ones in Deployment Center to find out if it's "EPiServer 6" or "EPiServer 6 R2".

I have only been working with EPiServer 6 and EPiServer 6 R2 so those versions are the most relevant to the question.

Edit: Updated the two first paragraphs with what I mean by the word version.

Was it helpful?

As other have stated, the plugin manager in admin mode, or simply looking at the title of the editor/admin mode browser window shows you the version.

Also, here is a list of version numbers and their corresponding release "Name": http://epiwiki.se/configuration/episerver-version-nummber-vs-release-number

EPiServer version number vs release number (taken from the assembly EPiServer.dll)

  • 7.0.586.4 - EPiServer 7 - Patch 1
  • 7.0.859.4 - EPiServer Framwork
  • 7.0.586.1 - EPiServer 7
  • 1.1.1239.0 - EPiServer Shared
  • 7.0.859.1 - EPiServer Framwork
  • 7.0.1764.1 - EPiServer Search
  • 7.0.499.1 - EPiServer 7 Preview
  • 6.1.379.5xx - EPiServer CMS 6 R2 (with diferent versions of general hotfix)
  • 6.1.379.1 - EPiServer CMS 6 R2
  • 6.0.530.0 - EPiServer CMS 6
  • 5.2.375.236 - EPIServer CMS 5 R2 SP2
  • 5.2.375.133 - EPiServer CMS 5 R2 SP1
  • 5.2.375.7 - EPiServer CMS 5 R2
  • 5.1.422.267 - EPiServer CMS 5 SP3
  • 5.1.422.256 - EPiServer CMS 5 SP2
  • 5.1.422.122 - EPiServer CMS 5 SP1
  • 5.1.422.4 - EPiServer CMS 5
  • 4.62.0.469 - EPiServer CMS 4.62B

The version numbers are built with the following pattern:

Major.release.buildnumber.days

Where:

Major - is the major version that probably has breaking changes to a previous version

Release – the release number should not include breaking changes

Buildnumber – the build number

Days – days after the build number was generated

OTHER TIPS

One of the easiest ways to see actual EPiServer versions is to look into plugin manager in admin:

enter image description here

  • 6.0.530.0 - 6 R1
  • 6.1.379.0 - 6 R2
  • 7.0.586.1 - 7

The title-tag in EPiServer Admin or Edit will show you the version you are running.

You could look for features when it comes to CMS 6 R1/R2. For example, the personalization features came with R2.
