NPSVersion Tool

Use the NPSVersion tool to extract version information from many CA products. To use this command-line tool, type NPSVersion, a space, and the name of the executable whose version information you want, for example:

C:\Program Files\CA\webasagent\sapwebas\tools>npsversion NPSEncrypt.exe
[NPSVersion Version 12.0.0000.244 - NPSVersion Revision 12.0.0000.244]
NPSEncrypt.exe - Component: NPSEncrypt V12.0.0000.244 (Sep 28 2009 17:37:05)
NPSEncrypt.exe       -   Package: NPSEncrypt V12.0.0000.244

C:\Program Files\CA\webasagent\sapwebas\tools>

Use the NPSVersion tool on one platform to extract information for a product built for any other platform. The information displayed might differ in format and content than the previous sample, but the relevant lines when discussing any issues with Support are Package and Component. Each line has a version number.

Package refers to the version of the Product, in this case the SessionLinker version r12 product.

Component refers to the part of the product that is enclosed within this specific file. The version number can be larger than the Package version. One of more bugs can have been repaired for the component or minor enhancements added to the component that did not require a package to be rebuilt or renumbered.
