You can use the one that come with the SecurePlatform you have installed, or the version downloaded that you have for the version you are running... If you are doing an upgrade, that would be when you would need to use the newer version, because the package includes the upgrade_verifier as well... - the upgrade_export is basically to pack and compress all the needed configuration files in a "known" format that can be transported easily... > This is confusing.
