How to I check what Visual Studio 2005 Edition I am running?

[Guest]

Which edition of Visual Studio do I have? "About" says that I have Visual
Studio 8.0.5.0727.42: is this the professional, express, or enterprise
edition? I do not believe it is the Team edition.

I am trying to use "Attach to Your Form for Debugging" to attach to a
process and the "Attach" button is grayed out. Help says that the "Attach to
Your Form for Debugging" is not available in the Express Edition.
Could this be my issue?
Please explain...I thought Express Editions were for temporary use to learn
the system ...not for licensed copies for development...

Please provide roadmap knowledge. Thank you!

How do I use my Support.microsoft.com account to download the
edition/version I am licensed for?

Up the top, mine says (in a picture) "Visual Studio 2005" and underneath
that it says "Professional Edition".

That sounds like you've got Express edition.

They are licensed for commercial development. They are not "trialware" -
they simply don't have all the features.

I use: http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions, and, of course, the
neverending stream of DVDs in the mail.
