Finding the Express Server Version Number

Finding the Version Number Using the Graphical User Interface

Once Express Server is installed, you can use the Express Server Manager, a graphical user interface, to find the version number.

To find the version number using the Express Server Manager:

1. Open the Express Server Manager (see Accessing the Express Server Manager).
2. Click Status on the top navigation bar. When Express Server is running, the version number is reported on the Express Server status line.

Finding the Version Number Using the Error Log

The Express Server version number is included as part of the message recorded in the error log each time Express Server is started. The version number appears at the end of the string in parentheses, as in the following sample entry.

27/April/2011:11:02:36 [1] [notic] iserv engine started (version 9.5.0.3531)

From this string you can see that the version running is Express Server 9, build number 3531.

For more information, see "Accessing and Using Log Files".

Finding the Version Number Using the Express Server browse Web API Function

If the Express Server has not been shut down, you can also discover which version of the Express Server you are running by using the Express Server browse Web API function.

Enter the following in your browser:

http://<ServerName>/lizardtech/iserv/browse?style=none

This returns an XML document. The version number appears in the second line, as shown in the XML excerpt below.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> 

- <ImageServer host="dr-ltm-lmfta:80" licensestate="valid" path="lizardtech/iserv"    version="9.5.0.3531" xmlns:LizardTech="http://www.lizardtech.com">
