Sql-server – How to view SQL Server licenses

licensingsql server

I understand that there are three kinds of SQL licenses: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/pricing-licensing-faq.aspx

Is there a a dialog in SSMS, a sproc, registry key, etc I can look at on a server to determine the type and number of licenses?

Thanks

Per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174396.aspx:

LicenseType is Unused. License information is not preserved or maintained by the SQL Server product. Always returns DISABLED.

This is true for 2005+, so it does NOT mean that you are using an unlicensed version, contrary to the previous answer.
