I know I can check the Pentaho version by opening the spoon.sh in vi mode, but the Pentaho that is installed in production environment doesn't have that information in it. Probably some employee before me has edited it. So is there any other way that I can know the version of the Pentaho that is being used on the server?

Go to the command line and type this command to see the version of kettle. Now your production server may a Linux box or a Windows box. Depending on the type of the platform, use the command below:

Linux:

./kitchen.sh -version

Windows: 

Kitchen.bat -version

To check the version of the bi-server, just go to the Pentaho User Console (PUC). Help --> About.
