Given a running author or publish instance of Adobe CQ5, how can one tell which major version and service pack of the software is in use? Is there a place to look for a simple "v5.5 SP2" answer?
I don't work with our CQ5 stuff often, and I'm bringing up an Amazon EC2 instance running CQ5 and I need to know which revision of the software it is running, and find out which version the source of the backup that I would like to restore is running.
Any help?

After you sign in, you can see the version on the Welcome page. It's at the bottom of the page 
From the command line you can access it like this
curl -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n admin:admin|base64)" This is text response you can grep / sed for the parts of the version you need.
