what version do I have?

[smakagemor]

I work for a government agency and am responsible for tracking
software. We have a certain number of Visio 2000 pro licenses, and
some that are just standard - technical? I don't know, they just are
not pro. Previous person wrote down standard. They have not been
upgraded to the MS version. Matter of money.

So I have to verify how many pro and how many not-pro are installed on
our agency machines to see if we are in compliance. (Which we
probably are cause I think we have more licenses than installed). But
that may change, as more people want to use the software.

So, how do I tell? when I go to the Program files and click on the
application, I see that the version is 6.0.0.1245. Some say 6.0a.
Some say 6.0.1245. The technical guys say the only difference between
pro and standard were the network templates. But I don't want to go
around from machine to machine logging on, opening up the program, and
looking at templates. No, I want to remotely connect and look at the
program files. So, what do I look for?

The basic program is the same for Visio Standard, Professional and
Technical. The difference is that Professional and Technical add an extra
DLL in the same directory as Visio32.exe.

Take a look at http://visio.mvps.org/History.htm to see what the possible
names of the dlls may be.
(I need to fill in the blanks on that page)
