Distinguish SQLServer and MSDE instances

How can I tell which of the SQLServers listed on the network are
specifically MSDE.
I want to make sure that I have licenses for all the full versions of
SQLServer that are running.
Thanks.
Alan
Issue one of the commands on the servers you want to find that out:
Select @.@.Version
--OR
EXEC master..xp_msver

|||Another command would be to SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('Edition');
