GlobalSearch

Method 1

If you have access to get into the desktop client, the software version can be determined by clicking on the GlobalSearch logo in the top left.  The software version will be displayed in the menu that opens. In newer versions of GlobalSearch the process is much the same, you have to click the "File" tab instead of the GlobalSearch logo to get the menu to appear.

Method 2

If you are unable to open the software, the software version can be determined by looking at the SSInterface.exe file.

If you have access to the GlobalSearch server navigate to the directory where the application is installed (default C:\GetSmart)

If you do not have access to the server you can check the same file located on a client machine. 

For versions 4.5.2 and higher:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Square9\GetSmart\SSInterface.exe

For versions 4.5.0 and lower:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Square9\GetSmart\SSInterface.exe


Right click on SSinterface.exe and select Properties
