How can I tell which version of ACR I currently have?

I work with Photoshop Elements 13, which opens my RAW images in ACR.

I've recently upgraded my original Canon 24-105 lens to the new version (EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM) and, since reading an article where lens profiles featured in the process of adjusting lens distortions, I got curious about this facility (nothing to do with the new lens, by the way - that's performing beautifully!).

Firstly I guess I need to know which version of ACR I have. I've looked in the list of installed programs on my hard drive (Windows 8.1>Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features) but, although both Elements 13 and Premiere 13 are in there, there's no sign of ACR.

Once I've found it, I'll need to establish whether it contains any lens profiles - indeed, where do I look for those in ACR? - although I'm really not sure what the advantage of them might be (I seem to have managed for years without them). I may then need to update my version of ACR and, possibly, find out where to go to upload any new lens profiles.

Any help or advice on this subject would be very much appreciated.
 
In Photoshop CC the Version of ACR shows on the very top left of ACR when it opens up ... maybe yours is the same?

Thanks gramps .. I don't see that in my version, but at the bottom left of the ACR screen there's a Help tab which produces a dialogue box headed Camera Raw Preferences (version 9.0.0.414), so I guess that's the first part of my post answered!

Now I need to know if that's the latest version, do I need to update it and where do I find lens profiles?
 
My ACR is at Version 9.9 ... don't know what version is correct for Elements but have you tried Help > Updates?

Thanks again gramps .. it would appear that the latest (December 2016) version of ACR for Elements 13 is 9.8 and there's installation info under Help.
