MOSS Administration: How do you find out what version/edition of SharePoint you are running?

A. Introduction I have encountered a problem, where I needed to check the versions of SharePoint and content databases we were running and also which edition of features set (standard or enterprise) was enabled on the farm. After some googling and also support from my colleagues, I found a bunch of very useful articles and tips that I would like to share. B. How do you find out what edition of SharePoint features you are running?

1. Browse the SharePoint Central Administration.
2. Click the Operations tab.
3. Under the Upgrade and Migration section, click Enable enterprise features.
4. Once you open this window you will find 2 radio buttons.If enterprise is enabled, you will find it selected and the radio buttons control is dimmed. This is because you cannot downgrade to standard. If standard is enabled, you will find it selected and you can choose enterprise. This upgrade would require a license key.
