This article explores identifying past versions of Please Review based on available information, offering insights into its historical usage patterns. Understanding these versions sheds light on the evolution and adoption of Please Review over time.

1. Remaining documents in the system
2. Previous license files

1. Remaining documents in the system

If there are documents still present in the system, you can query the database or use PleaseReport to identify them. Running the following SQL query will display all documents in the system:

SELECT * FROM T_Document;

In this table, you'll find the CreateDate and ServerVersion columns, which can provide insight into the installed version at the time.

2. Old license files

When replacing license files, if you have retained copies of the old ones, they contain issue dates. These copies may exist on your server, in emails, or filed elsewhere. Typically, with each change of the second digit of Please Review, a new license was necessary. While this may not indicate the exact patch version (the third digit), it will indicate the major version number (the first two digits) you were using. Note that in earlier versions, a new license wasn't always required for each update. For instance, v5.2.x versions could function with a v5.1 license. However, since then, there has generally been a new license for each major version update.
