Thought this might be better put in this thread for anyone looking.
I had asked how you know if your Apex is running the latest software version:
This is what I got back from Garrett:
If you watch the VDI numbers in the middle of the screen as you power the Apex on, it will flash the update rev for a moment. It will be something like “2.6”, “2.7”, “2.8”. If it is 2.8, then it already has the latest update installed. If it is anything else, then you would need to download and run the Apex updater available on our website. Also, the updater should automatically check if it is needed before actually running if you go to run it on an Apex.
Please note the date of this posting. If your reading five years from now the newest revision # might be different...
