Hello,
You can follow these general methods based on the software type:
1. For Desktop Applications (Windows/Mac/Linux):
Windows:
Method 1: Open the software application. In most cases, you can check the version by going to the Help menu and selecting About (e.g., "About [Application Name]").
Method 2: Right-click the application’s shortcut or executable file and select Properties. Under the Details tab, you should find the version information.
Mac:
Method 1: Open the software application. Go to the menu bar at the top and click on [Application Name] > About [Application Name]. It will show the version number.
Method 2: In Finder, locate the application, right-click on it, and select Get Info. The version will be displayed under Version.
Linux:
For most Linux distributions, you can use the terminal. If the software is installed via a package manager, try the following:
dpkg -l | grep [package_name] # For Debian/Ubuntu-based systems
rpm -qi [package_name] # For Red Hat-based systems
Alternatively, check within the application or documentation.
2. For Command-Line Tools (Windows/Linux/Mac):
Most command-line tools allow you to check the version using the --version or -v flag. For example:
[application_name] --version
Or:
[application_name] -v
This will display the version of the tool installed.
3. For Web Applications:
Method 1: Check the application’s footer or settings page, where the version number is sometimes displayed.
Method 2: If you have access to the server, check the web application's version through its control panel or configuration files (e.g., composer.json for PHP-based applications or package.json for Node.js-based ones).
4. For Mobile Apps (iOS/Android):
iOS:
Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find the app, and tap it to see the version number.
Android:
Go to Settings > Apps > Select the app, and under App Info, the version number will be listed.
5. For Database Software (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL):

SELECT VERSION();
PostgreSQL: You can use the following command in the psql terminal:
SELECT version();
6. For Network Software (e.g., Cisco, Windows Server):
