Visual Studio 2015 CTP - "This license will expire in 6 days"??? Okay, then what?

I just installed Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015 CTP version 5 or 6 just a few days ago. I selected "Help->About" but I still can't tell for sure which version it is. I guess Microsoft likes to keep people guessing.

Does this mean I am on an older version? Should I assume I am on CTP 5 and look for a way to upgrade to CTP 6? Please advise. I just got this installed. Thanks for reading.

How can I tell which version of Visual Studio 2015 CTP I downloaded and installed? If I installed CTP 5 what is the easiest way to upgrade to CTP 6? Can it all be done through Visual Studio 2015 CTP 5 using NuGet or should I just download the latest CTP 6 .iso and install using that?

Edit: Gotta love Microsoft and their controlling nature. Their push to the cloud for all things. So you can't even download CTP 6 without logging in first so they know who downloads it. Then all you get is a link to start downloading the .iso. No sha-1 to check the .iso I already downloaded to see if I even need it first. No actual filename, no release date. Just a link. Here's a piece of cheese, come get it. The lust for control over it's consumers that Microsoft is pushing is just amazing.

Give me the good ole days where you actually knew what you were downloading and not just clicking on links.

EDIT: Found what I was looking for. It wasn't fun looking for it though. I guess I am using CTP 6, so I have 6 days left to a license expiration, then what?
