2. In the About Solid Edge dialog, check the version build number.

Note: The version number build number will be shown in this format (build 224.00.07.004x64). The 224 is the version number, in this example SE2024. The current installed maintenance pack is shown in the after the second decimal point. In this case 07 which is Update 7.

If you want a list of all the PR’s that have been fixed, select the corresponding Readme.txt file. In this example that would be the Solid_Edge_2024_Update_8_readme.txt link.
