This is a table in your Aware installation database - its that 1st DB you created when you installed aware.
You could write a Stored Procedure to go retrieve this (maybe every night, or based on a trigger on this table) and store it in one of your tables (like SystemSettings), then display that in a banner. Of course that # doesn't mean anything to your users, but if you needed to know this for some reason, this IS the exact # that displays in the Config Tool for that BSV.
The EventType field is for "Published". So you'd want to sort them and get the most recent 1 for the result of the SP.
