SQL Server Client Tools: How can you tell what SQL edition the client tools are from? While working on SQL Server: Unable to save import export package, but am on Standard Edition , the question came up:

We know how to ask SQL Server what edition it is. (Look at properties of server in SSMS, "select @@version" etc.). But how do we look at an install of client tools and tell what version the client tools are?
Go to Management Studio's Help &gt; About... menu. For example, I am running the latest build of SQL Server 2016 (CTP 2.1), and this is what my Help &gt; About shows:


  


If I click Copy Info, I get this in my clipboard:

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio          13.0.300.44
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools        13.0.300.44
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)         10.0.10166.0
Microsoft MSXML                                 3.0 6.0 
Microsoft Internet Explorer                     9.11.10166.0
Microsoft .NET Framework                        4.0.30319.42000
Operating System                                6.3.10166


There are no longer any "editions" of client tools, starting with SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1. Before that, there were only two editions: licensed and Management Studio Express. Help &gt; About would yield that information as well, and the title bar would say so too.
