How to find out Kentico Version without having access to Admin or Database

Question

I have source code of a Kentico site to review but do not have access to database or live Portal yet. I was wondering if there is a way to find out the CMS version just from the files or Code ?

There are three ways to determine the version as described in this answer.

File system - look at details of dll in bin directory and hotfix.txt file
Kentico UI
Database.

All 3 versions and hot fix numbers need to match.
