Maya vs Mata LT vs Maya Indie check from c++

[Sebastian_Wiendl]

Hi all,

First of all, is Maya Indie the same as Maya LT? Are there any other versions?

My main question is: Is it possible to check which version someone is using from c++.

I see that there is a mel about -ltVersion command (https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/Commands/about.html#flagltVersion).

I guess, I could call that command from MGlobal via the executeCommand api, but I would prefer c++.

Also, if there are any other versions than LT (like Indie, if that one is different from LT), how would I test for them?

Thanks so much

Cheers,
Sebastian
