Option #1: The Version File

The DLC/version file is a simple ASCII text file which contains the version in the following format, which can also be opened in a text editor.
The Version file location in Progress/OpenEdge installation folder ($DLC on UNIX, %DLC% on Windows). 
The Version file contains the current version followed by the Patch / Service Pack number (if applicable) and hot-fix number (if applicable).

Examples:

OpenEdge 11.7 First Commercial Shipment (FCS) installation without Service Pack:
OpenEdge Release 11.7.3 as of Fri Apr 27 17:40:05 EDT 2018

OpenEdge 11.7 with Service Pack 3:
