Steps:

  1. Within the Cognos BI install folder, look for a file called cmplst.txt. The default installation location is c:\program files\cognos\<c8 or c10>
  2. Within this file, look for [Product Update Information]. If this section is missing or blank, then you have the RTM (first release) installed. If the section is populated, reference the table above to determine the service pack installed.


If you do not have access to the component list file (cmplst.txt):

 

  1. Hit Ctrl-F3 within Cognos Configuration to bring up a Properties menu
  2. On the Installed Components tab, the build numbers will also be displayed
