any idea ?

Hi Mark,
Thank you for posting on SOTI Central.
Currently, we do not have a macro available for OEM Version. However, we do have an existing Feature Request which is being planned for the future. If this is an important feature for you, I suggest that you open a case with SOTI Support (support@soti.net) so that we can raise another Feature Request in order to track the demand for this.
Kind regards,
Custom Data can be extracted and displayed in the lockdown with the following macro
%MCCustomData:NAME%
Using this concept you could create a Package or File Sync Rule that places an INI file onto devices containing a OEMVersion property that you associate to the devices via Filter Criteria by OEMVersion. SOTI would then read in from that INI file based on a Custom Data Rule you set up and then you could use that Custom Data property in your lockdown via that macro. Super convoluted, but it should work.
Insteady of waiting for action upon a new feature request, or using custom data as proposed by Matt, you could also consider trying a thrid approach, espeically if your devices firmware upgrade are configured to be under strict control with MobiControl.
As the "OEM version" is not changed frequently, another approach is to export the information for all targeted devices to CSV file for MobiControl v14.x+ web-console, and bulk import the file to a new custom attribute (say OemVer) which is also configured to have the value propagated to your devices. Then, you can use the macro %CustomAttr:OemVer in your kiosk html for display in kiosk mode.
