How can I check which LB 4.5.1 I have? I used to have gold

[jayesjay]

I have recently reinstalled LB, its version is, as far as I can see, 4.5.1

I haven't used it for some long time, but my emails tell me I had registration as Gold.  I understand that Gold is now the Pro version. How can I tell which version/issue I have?

Gold is not the Pro version; Gold allows you to create TKN files for use with the runtime engine.

This will provide the version of LB that you have.
Print Version$

If you go to the Run>Make *.TKN File menu item and try to make a TKN file, you will definitely find out if you have the Gold version. Not having the Gold version results in .TKN files that have a "nag window" that pops up when run.

Thanks for your very prompt reply.

OK, the "print version$" does confirm I have version 4.5.1, which was obvious from the loading process. Good to know the process, anyway, so thanks.

If Gold means nothing more than the TKN feature, then I am not very concerned about it.
However, I repeat, I did have a registration for Gold, and I feel that this may be a licence feature rather than a version, in a sense, so that the question may move to a database at subscription level problem.

Regarding a test by attempting to generate a TKN, and having come back after some years to LB, I would have to do some studying and work to get to the stage of attempting it. So I can hope someone knowledgeable at the subscription level could provide a clue. Many thanks if possible.

My old registration passwords were Silver: F..8, and Gold 6..3

We no longer sell the Silver license (for years now). As far as Pro is concerned, this is an actual different product and not a license level.  There is no download link for it on our website, but you only received a download link when you purchase it.  Some years ago Liberty BASIC Pro was called Liberty BASIC Assist. When you start the Pro version up it will say Pro in the window title bar, and if you don't have the license code it will not let you use it.
