Identify SharePoint 2013 Foundation or Server (Version)

  • Article

Introduction

It's crazy that there are easy ways to determine what the Edition (SKU) of SharePoint 2013 is that you are running. We have come across this several times, where someone asks me a SharePoint question. Not that we want to answer a question with a question, but the first thing we ask is what version of SharePoint they are running.

The following code example demonstrates how to retrieve the registry key of the installed SKU of SharePoint 2013, Microsoft Project Server 2013.

Open the SharePoint Management Shell and type in the following command:

In this case "9ff..." is SharePoint Foundation 2013 (that would always be present even with Server) and "b7d..." is the SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise.

Here are all of the products GUIDs.

You will get the GUIDs. Find your GUID from the following list. That will be your installed SharePoint version.

There is also another way to find the product GUID from the registry.
