Build/Version in AC13?

How do you tell the Build # in AC 13?
ArchiCAD> "About Archicad" doesn't show the build # as it did in previous versions.

Now it is HELP > LICENSE INFORMATION

Marc, select the ArchiCAD app and right click to "Show Package Contents".
You can then use Text Edit or Property List Editor to open the Info.plist file.

It is here I add the version number to show in the menu.
Barry's way is easier and quicker

Thanks guys.
I couldn't "see" HELP > LICENSE INFORMATION as I brought in my AC12 work environment profile with it's out-of-date menus.

And I never would have found it in the plist without Rod's map.

I wonder why they removed it from "About Archicad"?
Cheers,
Marc

I'm not sure why they would remove the build number and still leave the old "About Archicad" when it doesn't tell you anything now.
Just remove the whole thing from the help menu.

The new HELP > LICENSE INFORMATION gives a little more information and it looks like it may list other licenses maybe for MEP and Ecodesigner maybe?

There is also a button to "Borrow" a network license if you are using the new network keys.
