How to determine the version number of SQL Server

Answer

When GFI Software Products work with Microsoft SQL Server, you need to know what version of Microsoft SQL Server you are running. You can do this by doing the following:

Connect to the instance of Microsoft SQL Server, and then run the following query:
Select @@version

An example of the output of this query is as follows:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP1) - 10.0.2531.0 (X64)   Mar 29 2009 
10:11:52   Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation  Express 
Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: )

NOTE: the above method was taken from the following article from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/321185#1. For more alternative ways to find your Microsoft SQL Server version, please refer to the above article.
