to see this information: Go to System -> Status -> Component Information or SPAM TCODE.

To download, you need to identify you actual stack version that we can see through the Software Component SAP_BASIS, SPS 7 in this case.
Now we go to the SAP Support Launchpad https://launchpad.support.sap.com

From here, we are redirect to another page:
Now we need to specify some current versions for our system. We can do that comparing on SYSTEM -> STATUS.
Next, following the instructions on the screen, we should select the instantiations that we want to download for each group of software component versions in the list.
Next screen show us a resume of what we will download, and some alerts from some stuff that we did not select on last screen (some GUI stuff, we do not actually need it).
