Posted on by 3,329

Hello, 

I have a setup file but i don't know which version it is. Is there any way by which i can come to know what version of AX it is, AX2012 RTM, AX2012 R2, AX2012 R3 without installing the AX

    Open your installation media there should be a Readme html file that will give you that information. for R1, R2, R3 etc.

    and for CU version you can check the updates folder in the same directory.

    \Msi\ObjectServer64\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\AppInst\Bin\Ax32serv.exe is your AOS executable, the properties of that will tell you the base version of the install kit, which you could compare against the kernel release versions for example:

    blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../overview-of-microsoft-dynamics-ax-build-numbers

    That is not yet your final version number, since in the Updates folder you could have major release patches, cumulative updates, or specific kernel hotfixes, which will be applied on top of the base installer version. For that you might want to look up the specific KB numbers on the LifeCycle Services websites' Issue search.
