CQ version

For AEM 6.5 - programatically we can get the aem product version using below:

com.adobe.granite.license.ProductInfoProvider; 
com.adobe.granite.license.ProductInfo;

@OSGiService
private ProductInfoProvider productInfoProvider;

ProductInfo productInfo = productInfoProvider.getProductInfo(); 
productInfo.getVerion().toString(); //6.5.13.0
productInfo.getShortVersion(); //6.5

There is a ReST endpoint at /libs/granite/operations/content/systemoverview/export.json. This is used from the operations dashboard. It exposes the product info as well.

Even if this information is available at some location in the JCR, it is not advised to use read from there. The official API is the ProductInfo, and any other way to to determine the product version might just works by incidence.

Hi,

If you need to expose info at client side, then you can do it with java API com.adobe.granite.license.ProductInfo which is suggested by Kautuk to get info and assign to javascript variable, so it can be accessible at client side.

If you are planning to do via reading node using JCR API, then also you won't be able to expose at client side until it is not exposed as javascript variable.

So go ahead and use JAVA API dedicated to access product info and expose value as javascript variable.

Hi kautuksahni​,

I had already found both of them. But the problem is:

In status-productinfo, it is not a perfect json and still need to be parsed a little to get product version.

And in second method, I need to create a servlet first as I want to get product info on client side.

Also, can you tell me where is the info saved now, like earlier there used to be a node in /libs/cq but now I can't find any node.

This doesn't work in recent AEM versions. Could you please help how to get product info in json format for AEM 6.3/4

Hi Jorg

This is awesome. This community is enriching all of us. 

Thanks for the information.This is added to my kitty now .

Thanks and Regards

Instead of relying the value in the JCR you can also query the ProductInfoService [1], which also provides you these information.

kind regards,
Jörg
