The Progress 'version' file [located under the $DLC or install directory] indicates whether a Progress patch or service pack has been applied to a commercial release, and when the patch or service pack was built by Progress.
The configuration file (progress.cfg) allows us to identify which products have been installed, when the product installation was built, the expiration date of the product(s), the serial number(s) and control codes that were used to install each product, user count information and the operating system platform (port) the installations were built on.
