Check Contents

Review the version and release information and check if a suitable enterprise edition is in use:

MariaDB> SELECT VARIABLE_NAME, VARIABLE_VALUE
FROM information_schema.GLOBAL_VARIABLES
WHERE VARIABLE_NAME IN ('version', 'version_comment', 'version_suffix');

Example output for Enterprise 10.6 would be:

+-----------------------------+
| 10.6.25-MariaDB-enterprise |
+-----------------------------+

In Enterprise, the version field itself will contain "-enterprise", and sometimes additional enterprise-specific variables/plugins appear (e.g., enterprise encryption or backup-related variables), but the version string is the definitive indicator. In Community, the version field is usually empty or generic and has no enterprise indicators.

Access the vendor website MariaDB Enterprise download page and check supported releases: https://mariadb.com/downloads/enterprise/enterprise-server/

Pick the corresponding operating system such as Ubuntu, Red Hat, Rocky, or another from drop-down list.

If MariaDB Community Software or an older MariaDB Enterprise version that has reached end of life (EOL) is in use, this is a finding.
