Detecting the Installed SKU of SharePoint Server 2010 by Using Code
The following code sample demonstrates how to retrieve the registry key of the installed SKU of SharePoint Server 2010 and of other Microsoft Office server products, and how to match the SKU with a hash table that stores the names and keys for all of the known SKUs of these products. The console output displays the name of the installed SKU.
using System;
using System.Collections;
using Microsoft.Win32;
namespace GetInstalledSharePointSku
{
class Program
{
internal static Hashtable _products;
public static Hashtable SharePointProducts
{
get
{
if (_products == null)
{
_products = new Hashtable();
_products.Add("BEED1F75-C398-4447-AEF1-E66E1F0DF91E", "SharePoint Foundation 2010");
_products.Add("1328E89E-7EC8-4F7E-809E-7E945796E511", "Search Server Express 2010");
_products.Add("B2C0B444-3914-4ACB-A0B8-7CF50A8F7AA0", "SharePoint Server 2010 Standard Trial");
