How to check the version installed for SQL Server, Visual Studio, SSDT/SSIS Projects, and COZYROC SSIS+
Verifying the COZYROC SSIS+ Release
The existing release of the COZYROC SSIS+ Suite can easily be identified through the License Application, which is installed during setup. The License Application is used to retrieve and/or remove the license key.
From the Windows Start Menu, locate the COZYROC SSIS+ program and then Click to expand the sub-menu.
- Right-Click on the highest release available of the License Application and run as administrator (See Figure-01).

Note: when the COZYROC License window appears, you find the release number (See Figure-02).
One method in how to verify your current SSDT release is through the Control Panel ➡ Programs ➡ Programs and Features. Programs that are installed on your server are tracked and/or listed under the Programs and Features, which can be accessed through Control Panel.
- From the Windows Start Menu, locate the Windows System folder and then Click to expand the sub-menu.
- Click on the Control Panel (See Figure-04).
- Click on Program and then Click on Programs and Features.
- When the Program and Features Window appears, scroll down and locate the program Microsoft SQL Data Tools - Visual Studio 2017 (See Figure-05).
- Using the Compatibility Chart for SSDT, look up the build number to identify the release of SSDT.
Note: although Visual Studio provides version information, the information associated with SSDT can't help identify the accurate build number and/or release installed (See Figure-06).
