It would be better if it were somehow embedded in the normal display. We have one group of potential users who may be using MAXOS in a very tightly locked down fashion to deliver ESOL and Citizenship training (this would probably be with the WEA and on behalf of one of the Trade Unions. They want the sticks copy protected (I don't agree with that, but that's the way it is) and also to fire up in a way that only offers the courses on the sticks, i.e. no development potential by the users. The users will therefore not have access to the source code.

But agree it would be good if it was automated although not sure it should be accessed via management because often it's useful when supporting people (mostly not admins) to ask what version you are using and to direct them where to identify that e.g. /version.txt

I was delivering training yesterday and have seen it before too and current solution is to make the LO public, toggle the egine, view the public link then toggling should work as it's supposed to.
