Is there an easy way to detect the version of Sitecore ECM in a Sitecore installation?
The Sitecore solution installed is Sitecore 6.5 rev. 120427 installed.
You can have a look at the package install history in the Core database under /sitecore/system/Packages/Installation history/E-mail Campaign Manager. If you have installed multiple versions then there will be multiple child entries with each revision number.
If you need to get the current running version from code then just get reflect the FileVersionInfo
var assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("Sitecore.EmailCampaign.dll");
var fvi = System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
string version = fvi.FileVersion;
Slightly 'hack-ish', but you could look to see what packages have already been installed via the Installation Wizard. When you select a package, it gives you the version number.
Click on the Sitecore button, choose Development Tools, then Installation Wizard. Choose Browse and then look for the email campaign manager module that was installed. After you select it, it should show the version number information in the file name.
Caveat: This probably doesn't help if you've installed multiple versions of the ECM over time.
If you have access to the file system, you can see the version of any module by looking at the properties of the corresponding DLL file (right click on file and choose Properties). This information is stored under the "Product name" and/or "Product version" property in the Details tab.

I am in the process of researching a upgrade between a Sitecore 7.1 website to Sitecore 8.2. The site has the Social Connect Module installed.
I notice in Sitecore 8's Content Explorer, there is a pre-installed Social network structure. That looks very similar to the structure used in Sitecore 7.1's Social Connect Module.
My question is
Is this the same Sitecore 7 Social Connect Module just included in
Sitecore 8 installs?
If so, are there any notable changes I should consider between the
c# api?
I'm hoping that pre-existing user controls will just work. That would be awesome.
If you have any links to documents would be nice. Can't seems to find the right search term combo.
Thanks
Yes, that is the same module included into Sitecore Exprience Platform starting from 8.0 initial release (see the "Social Connected" section). Unfortunately there is no breaking changes report published, probably because the entire module became a new Platform component.
How I can check for WFFM version that have installed in Sitecore 8.
I was checking in List of Package inside Data/Packages folder . Is this correct way to do this ?
That's one of the options, but it's not necessarily correct. One can upload a package to that folder but never install it.
You can also check WFFFM dlls in the bin folder and see their version.
And maybe the most reliable way: login to Sitecore Desktop, change database to core and in Content Editor find /sitecore/system/packages/installation history node. There should be a list of all packages which are installed in your Sitecore application including their versions.
Look in the sitecore general log at application startup, all dlls are listed including version numbers.
I found one more way All Application ==> System ==> License detail ,there i found the version of WFFM.
Im trying to setup Sitecore SXA (Sitecore Experience Accelerator) in 8.2 sitecore, i have done everything properly as mentioned in Installation document but i am not able to see any options, Toolbox, or partial views, renderings which need to come with Sitecore SXA installation.
Is SXA a licensed module ?, can't we use SXA features with default SXA module which we get from http://dev.sitecore.net Sitecore Experience Accelerator 1.1
Yes , Sitecore Experience Accelerator a licensed module and you need to get a new license to setup this module to work in your system . I am not sure if the new license will have addition cost or in the same cost of the old license .
Maybe it's a licensing issue, but did you try to create Tenants and Sites? IT's a common mistake to install everything and just go and preview the Home page. SxA have scripts to set everything up.
Try this:
Go the your content editor tree and right click in content and create a Tenant.
Right click in your new Tenant and create a Site.
Open the home of this new site in your Experience Editor. Everything should be there.

In sitecore 8. when I publish my VS solution. I get an error like license key not found. while I have placed the license key of sitecore and of active commerce at proper folder i.e sandbox/data.Need help. Any suggestion?
I have seen this occur when the VS solution has the Web.config with the default /data value (or a hard-coded value) that is not valid for the local installation. If you used the Sitecore installer, it often updates the Web.config with the value for the Data folder that is applicable to that local installation.
Instead, you should be using a patch include to specify the data folder. Sitecore Instance Manager will do this for you when you use it to install.
In this way, the proper data folder for your installation will be preserved no matter how many times you deploy.
I installed EXM 3.0 and used the instruction about upgrading from ECM 2.2 to EXM 3.0. (Sitecore ECM: Can't access Email Campaign Manager). After installation, I clicked "Email Campaign Manager" from Sitecore start menu and it goes to "Page not found" page in the url "mysite.com/speak/emailcampaign".
Did I miss something?
I installed this module in our testing server which has both CM and CD in the same location. So, I enabled "Sitecore.EmailCampaign.Xtune.CD.config".
If you've installed EXM properly, you won't be able to access it at the URL you've specified (mysite.com/speak/emailcampaign). Instead, it will appear as an app in the Launchpad: mysite.com/sitecore/client/Applications/Launchpad.
In any case, as Anton suggested in his answer to your previous question, it will be much better if you start over. Right now, your Sitecore is likely broken (to a degree) due to the incompatible versions of both SPEAK and ECM that you've installed. You'll be better off by setting up a clean instance of Sitecore 8 and then installing EXM.
