Find the Version externally (file system):

In general, if you simply need to know the version of OpenEdge that is installed it is always best to look in the folder where Progress/OpenEdge is installed for a file named 'version'.  This directory is also known as DLC, %DLC%, or $DLC.

The DLC/version file is a simple ASCII text file which contains the version in the following format:
OpenEdge Release 11.7.3.007  as of Sun Jul 29 15:17:09 EDT 2018
You can find more information about the version file in Article  How to determine the current Service Pack/Hotfix level of an OpenEdge installation
