How to get BAS version and browser version from profile

As said in the header, how can I get the BAS (engine )version (e.g. 25.8.0) from a local saved profile (folder) that was used for creating back then?
Searched around in the profile folders but without success.

For the BAS browser engine that was used for creating the profile I assume it's the value in the "Last Version" file that is included in the profile folder, right?

No one has an idea?

I believe that BAS does not save any information about its version to the profile folder.

However, for Chromium versions, you are able to retrieve it from the Last Version file in the profile folder:

117.0.5938.63

@sergerdn Thank you for the confirmation. I already searched within the profile folders in detail but also did not find information about the used BAS version.
So the solution for the future is to save the BAS version to the database directly when creating a profile ;)

If you are getting Chromium versions, you may also be aware of possible BAS versions. This is because each BAS version has support for specific Chromium versions.

@sergerdn Yes, I already thought of that. Probably the easiest solution, linking the Chromium versions from the profiles to the corresponding BAS versions and add this value to the db. Thank you for sharing your ideas :)

Just noticed that the "LastVersion" file in the profile folder, as the name suggests, gets updated when the profile is opened with (another version of) BAS e.g. from 114.0.5735.91 to 117.0.5938.63. Therefore it's not suitable for our need to determine the original version of which a profile was created.
But at least can be said what was the latest BAS version that worked with it ;)
