    Hi,

    I have an old version of DNN installed on Windows server 2012 and want to update to a newer version, how do I know what version I am currently running and how to upgrade to the latest version running on Server 2016.

        If you're able to log in with a privileged user account, you can find those details in the persona bar, both in the branding flyout menu at the top of it, and within the Settings > Servers view.

          Oh, and if you don't yet have access to that, you can check the database if you have access to that.  Just look at the largest version number in the Versions table, or look at the version of the DotNetNuke.dll file by inspecting its properties.

            If your version is quite old you may not have a Persona Bar, but as a host (Superuser) you have an SQL Console. There you can enter the following statement to retrieve the installed version:

            SELECT TOP 1
            Major, Minor, Build
            FROM
            {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Version
            ORDER BY
            CreatedDate DESC

            Happy DNNing!
            Michael
