How to know what edition is installed ?
John Smith asked how to find the installed Informix edition. Art Kagel said the onstat -V suffix shows it, such as DE Developer, IE Innovator-C, WE Workgroup, EE Enterprise, AEE Advanced Enterprise. Mike Walker and Paul Watson said no suffix means Enterprise Edition, as confirmed for version 14. Ramon Rey linked a page covering up to 12.10. Answered.

John:
The onstat output does indeed tell you what "Edition" you are running. Here is my test instance which is running the Developer Edition:
$ onstat -VIBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 14.10.FC4W1DE
Note the "DE" at the end indicating Developer Edition. Others are:
DE - Developer Edition
IE - Innovator-C Edition
WE - Workgroup Edition
EE - Enterprise Edition
AEE - Advanced Enterprise Edition
For the Express Edition and Advanced Developer Editions I don't know the code character as I have never seen either Edition running. I would guess they are "XE" and "ADE" respectively, but that's a guess.

I think that when there is no suffix on the version, that that is Enterprise Edition: IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 12.10.FC6XC <-- custom build, but no suffix IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 14.10.FC3 ------------------------------ Mike Walker ------------------------------
Agree with Mike - had a customer raise a PMR to confirm this with 14 and the new license key model Paul Watson Oninit LLC +1-913-387-7529 www.oninit.com Oninit® is a registered trademark of Oninit LLC
Hello John, I think this page explains it pretty well, alas, it covers up to version 12.10: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-informix-version-number My 0.02 Ramón ------------------------------ Ramon Rey ------------------------------
