Project Professional and Project Server 2010 (and 2007) Version Numbers
BY: Collin Quiring
Updated: October, 2013
I am asked “What release (version) of Project do I have?” and “What is the latest update?” quite often and this is an attempt to help answer those questions. And, this also answers the question about what the differences are between a hotfix, patch, update and service pack.
Please note – always read the installation instructions on any update for software as there are pre-requisites that sometimes must be installed first or at best the update won’t work and at worst case it could stop your program from working at all. And, of course, always back up your software and data prior to patching anything! Also note that it is important that the Server and Client versions of the software stay as close to the same version as possible with updates as problems can occur if they are not equal.
2010 Versions
Note that along with Project Server 2010 you need to update SharePoint Server 2010. They aren’t just dating like they we in 2007, they are fully married now and almost always both have to be updated for full effect. (I put some SharePoint 2010 update information at the end of this post.)
To see what version of Project Professional 2010 is on your computer, open Professional, go to File, Help and on the right hand side will be the Version number under the “About Microsoft Project” heading. This is known as the “Backstage” area and is listed that way in the table below. There is also a link called “Additional Versions and Copyright Information” which gives a bit more information if you select it. Or, you can go to your Control Panel and view the version at that location. The version numbers will look different in the Control Panel or in the Professional. The list of the Project Professional versions are in the following table.
Some of the information in the tables below for Project 2010 and Project Server 2010 comes from Brian Smith’s blog (http://bit.ly/cHxHPW).

For Project Server 2010
Also from Brian Smith’s blog (http://bit.ly/cHxHPW) is this information on how to run a query or use the control panel to get the version.
The version can be different depending where you look, so I will tabulate the version you will see in Control Panel, Programs and Features (binary version) or on the individual binaries – which is also listed in Central Administration under Upgrade and Migration, Check Product and Patch Installation Status – and also the version you will see in the databases. I’ll mention too various other components that might be of interest. I have listed just the Project Server KB for the CU – but the DB Version noted for SharePoint assumes that either a SharePoint Server or Server rollup has also been installed
As a reminder to get the version from the database there is a table in each SharePoint DB, and each Project Server DB called Versions so a query such as the following will return the current version, which will be the highest Version next to the NULL GUID.
USE <PROJECTSERVERNAME>_Published
SELECT * FROM Versions
WHERE VersionId =’00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000′

2007 Versions
To determine the version of Project that you have, open Project Professional, go to Help and then select About. (There are other ways to determine the version, but we will only cover this one method.)
A pop-up box will appear and the top line will have the information that answers the question “What version of Project do I have?” The first part of the line will be descriptive of the version and will say something like “Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003” or “Microsoft Office Project 2007” (or 2000, 2002, 2010) as appropriate.
The next part of that line is the “File Version” or “Build” for that product. If you have installed a Service Pack then the file version or build of the Service Pack is listed as well. Here is an example:
“Microsoft Office Project 2007 (12.0.6524.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)”
This means that this computer is using Project 2007 with the December 15, 2009 hotfix update (found by knowing what the number “12.0.6524.5000” means) and with Service Pack 2 that has been updated with the latest Office Service Pack (that is what “12.0.6425.1000” means).
I have included a list below of the Project 2007 release numbers as of today, with the Microsoft KB article explaining the modifications:

How do you determine what version of Project Server are you running? If you go to the Project Server itself, to the currently installed program list it will have a line for Project Server. In the 2007 version, that is called “Microsoft Office Project Server 2007”. When you select that line, there is a “Click here for support information” option. Selecting that will bring up a pop-up with the server version of the product that you are using.
As a rule, the file version of the Server should be the same as the file version on the Client. When the client says this: “Microsoft Office Project 2007 (12.0.6524.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)” the Server version should also be “12.0.6425.1000” – demonstrating that they are on the same Service Pack.

Finally, here are the definitions and differences of the various update types (as taken directly from Microsoft’s TechNet Project information and/or support.microsoft.com):
Hotfix:
A hotfix is a single cumulative package composed of one or more files used to address a problem in a product. A hotfix addresses a specific customer situation and is distributed by Microsoft Customer Service and Support. Customers may not redistribute hotfixes without written, legal consent from Microsoft. Individual hotfix releases are no longer available. Hotfixes are released to customers by Microsoft Customer Service and Support through cumulative updates.
On-demand (OD):
An on-demand hotfix must meet certain criteria. The customer’s business must be functioning with minor or no impediment of services. These criteria include a lack of an effective workaround, a critical business effect, or other reasons.
Cumulative Update:
A Cumulative update is a method of providing hotfix releases on a scheduled delivery basis for Office Server products, including Office Project Server 2007. Through this model, Office hotfixes are released every two months in the form of a downloadable package of current and previous hotfixes. The primary goal is to deliver high-quality fixes on a predictable schedule.
Service Pack:
A service pack is a tested, cumulative set of all hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates. Service packs may also contain additional fixes for problems that are found internally since the release of the product and a limited number of customer-requested design changes or features. Microsoft service packs are public updates that are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center. Service Packs are usually released 12-18 months after the product (or last Service Pack) was released.
Infrastructure Updates:
The Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is a set of public updates to improve platform performance and also contains several customer-driven fixes.
Critical Update:
A critical update is a broadly released fix for a specific problem that addresses a critical, non-security-related bug.
Critical-on-demand (COD):
A Critical-on-Demand hotfix is requested by a customer who experiences significant loss or degradation of business services.
Security Update:
A security update is a widely released fix for a product-specific, security-related vulnerability. Security vulnerabilities are rated based on their severity. The severity rating is indicated in the Microsoft security bulletin as critical, important, moderate, or low.
Public Update:
An update is a widely released fix for a specific problem. An update addresses a noncritical, non-security-related bug.
Update Rollup:
An update rollup is a tested, cumulative set of hotfixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates that are packaged together for easy deployment. A rollup generally targets a specific area, such as security, or a component of a product, such as Internet Information Services (IIS).
Upgrade:
An upgrade is a software package that replaces an installed version of a product with a newer version of the same product. The upgrade process typically leaves existing customer data and preferences intact while replacing the existing software with the newer version.
NOTE:
The SharePoint updates also are important. I ran across this blog posting from Technet’s Joe’s SharePoint Blog (sorry, I don’t know the author’s name). (http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepointjoe/archive/2011/02/01/sp2010-sharepoint-2010-build-level-and-version-numbers.aspx)
I removed non-SharePoint information and the download and revisions columns.
