I have installed glassfish. I can run
asadmin version
It shows what version it is, but how to know it is "Full Platform" or "Web profile"?

2Well don't you know what you've downloaded? – Georgian Aug 27 '13 at 07:57

see also `https://glassfish.java.net/webprofileORfullplatform31x.html` and, the two downloads will have different names. (before they're unzipped) – Thufir Nov 02 '14 at 19:43

You could use the
glassfish4\bin>asadmin list-containers
command. Which lists all known application containers. A full profile server reports this:
jpa
jpa
web
weld
weld
security
grizzly
ear
ejb
osgi
resources_ear
resources
appclient
webservices
connector
A web profile server reports this:
jpa
jpa
web
weld
weld
security
grizzly
ejb
osgi
resources_ear
resources
connector
Not much difference but it should be enough ;)

You can look at the license file name to determine if it is Full profile or Web profile
<glassfish install dir>/glassfish/legal/3RD-PARTY-LICENSE.txt
<glassfish install dir>/glassfish/legal/3RD-PARTY-LICENSE-WEB-PROFILE.txt

Glassfish 4.1.1 only have 3RD-PARTY-LICENSE-WEB-PROFILE.txt in both profiles. – nofomopls Feb 27 '17 at 10:59

GlassFish Web Profile: It is a lighter version of GlassFish that is designed for web applications and only includes a subset of the Java EE technologies.
GlassFish Full Platform: It is the complete version of GlassFish that includes all Java EE technologies.
Which one to download depends on the requirements of your project. If you are developing a web application and do not need the full Java EE stack, then the GlassFish Web Profile would be a good choice. If you are developing a more complex application that requires the full Java EE stack, then the GlassFish Full Platform would be a better choice.
