How can I check the version of a Liferay instance?

I have several instances of Liferay Portal (bundled with Apache Tomcat 5.5.x/6.x) and I need to know how to check the version of those Liferay instances.

Thanks in advance.

In the enterprise edition, in addition to the installed package (Dima's answer) you can update Liferay using service packs. Here is how to know what service pack level you have installed:

cd $LIFERAY/patching-tool
./patching-tool.sh info

It will show something like this:

Loading product and patch information...
Product information:
  * installation type: binary
  * build number: 7010
  * service pack version:
    - available SP version: 5
    - installable SP version: 5
  * patching-tool version: 2.0.6
  * time: 2018-01-31 08:37Z
  * plugins: Demo 201802, Space 1-2 Columns 50/50 Limited, Space 50/50 Width Limited, Space Program, Space Program Theme

Currently installed patches: de-30-7010

Available patches: de-22-7010, de-30-7010

Detailed patch list: 
  [ -] de-22-7010 :: Currently not installed; Won't be installed: de-30 contains the fixes included in this one :: Built for LIFERAY
  [*I] de-30-7010 :: Installed; Will be installed. :: Built for LIFERAY

The important line is Currently installed patches: de-30-7010.
Then you know that you have Service Pack 30.

As an administrator, go to:

Control Panel -> Configuration -> Server Administration

The version is in the information banner at the top of the "Resources" tab.

Look at class com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.ReleaseInfo located in tomcat/common/lib/portal-kernel.jar. There is a bunch of static methods for this purpose. You will find the following property: static String version.

If you can get the database, which is one:

select * from Release_;

there is a column called buildNumber, it can have a value like 6005 or 5203

The other way, with the apache tomcat startup, you will see in the catalina.out log file: Starting Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.0.5 CE (Bunyan / Build 6005 / August 16, 2010)

You can also check that information in the console log when starting up the server or checking the the headers of a HTTP request
