How do I know what version of FastReport I have installed?

I would like to upgrade to the brand new FastReport 5.3 version. How do I know what version I currently have installed on my system? There does not appear to be an About file.

    In the IDE with project that uses FastReport, click on any of the instances of FR objects (e.g. frxReport) and check what is displayed in the Object Inspector panel [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> (Version is the last Property displayed - mine says 5.3!)[/img]

    Also you can see frxVersion.inc

    Even after going to the Embarcadero website (http://cc.embarcadero.com) and logging in and downloading "FastReport VCL 5 for RAD Studio, Delphi and C++ Builder XE8" (22.7 MB, updated Last Tuesday), uninstalling the FastReports that came with RAD Studio XE8 and installing this version, it looks like I still only have version 5.1.5. That is not the most up-to-date version. How do I get 5.3?

    Logon at http://cp.fast-report.com/login (I assume you are a registered / licensed user) and go to the "Files" page. You should see all the products you are licensed to access there (e.g. FastCube VCL 2 and FastReport VCL5).

    If you can't see XE8 download in the list, you need to change your IDE settings. Scroll the page and the frame! (XE8 is at the bottom.)

    I am not a registered user, in fact I have never seen that site before. My copy of FastReports came bundled with Embarcadero RAD Studio XE8. How do I become a registered user? How do I get an account on that site?
