To determine which version of SQL Server 2000/2005 is running, connect to SQL Server 2000/2005 by using Query Analyzer, and then run the following code:

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

The results are:
The product version (for example, 8.00.534).
The product level (for example, “RTM” or “SP2”).
The edition (for example, “Standard Edition”).

For example, the result looks similar to:
8.00.534 RTM Standard Edition
