Querying for QlikView Version in Macro

Is there a way to query for whether a macro is running in QlikView Server or Desktop? I have seen:

Application.QvVersion

Which returns the version number but I'm after something which tells me whether I am running in QlikView server or not, regardless of version number.

Hi Chris,

If you know the server's name, you could use the ComputerName() function for detecting if the macro is running on Qlikview desktop or server version.

Best regards.
