    Sample Output

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) – 10.0.2531.0 (X64) Mar 29 2009 10:11:52 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7600: )

    If you just want to get the edition, you can use:

    select serverproperty('Edition')

    To use in an automated script, you can get the edition ID, which is an integer:

    select serverproperty('EditionID')
    • -1253826760 = Desktop
    • -1592396055 = Express
    • -1534726760 = Standard
    • 1333529388 = Workgroup
    • 1804890536 = Enterprise
    • -323382091 = Personal
    • -2117995310 = Developer
    • 610778273 = Enterprise Evaluation
    • 1044790755 = Windows Embedded SQL
    • 4161255391 = Express with Advanced Services
