Hi @Jwala Ashok ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out here.

From the ask, I wasn't sure if you are looking to identify the difference between Azure Data Catalog v/s Microsoft Purview or something else.

If the requirement is to find difference between Azure Data Catalog and Microsoft Purview, then both Azure Data Catalog and Microsoft Purview are both data cataloging solutions offered by Microsoft, while Azure Data Catalog is primarily focused on data discovery and self-service data consumption, Microsoft Purview is a more comprehensive data governance solution that includes data discovery, classification, and management capabilities (unified data governance for your entire data estate).

AFAIK Microsoft Purview does not have version numbers.

In case if you trying to find out Microsoft Purview account related details, from Azure Portal select open your Microsoft Purview and under settings section you see Properties tab in which you can find the account specific properties like SystemData like Metadata pertaining to creation and last modification of the resource, managed identity, location, etc.

You can also find the account specific properties using this REST API: Microsoft Purview - Accounts - Get Account Properties

GET {endpoint}/?api-version=2019-11-01-preview

Hope this info helps. In case if you have a specific requirement, please elaborate in detail about the use case and we will be happy to assist you accordingly.
