Unable to run SmartSDR in Windows without downgrading the Flex 6400?

Well, sadly, the Maestro will be heading back to it's maker as soon as I get the RMA information. So, I tried to run SmartSDR (Windows using Parallels on my Mac) to try connecting to my 1.5 month old FLEX-6400. It worked, several weeks ago. But since then the radio has been upgraded to 3.1.11 (I think). When I launch SmartSDR it does not give me any option for connecting without downgrading the radio presumably back to 3.1.8.
Do I need to do this, or am I doing something wrong? With the Maestro "in the box", I'm out of business until I get either SmartSDR working or Dogpark working. I've not coughed up the money to register Dogpark, yet.
I went to the FLEX website and checked out the downloads and I don't see anything more current than what I have. Perhaps I have to "unregister" and then "reregister"? I'm at a loss.

Thank you, Len. Turns out it was the 3.1.8 icon. Now I'm up to date and it actually works. Yay! Now if I can just get my Maestro back to them and they get it working for me. All will be good. Thanks again, Len, and best 73!

Thank you, Craig. They snuck in an update. But I had a problem anyway, as I was set up on 3.1.8 on my Windows SmartSDR. My radio was on 3.1.11, and the new software wanted 3.1.12, which updated just fine, so now everything is current. Thank you again, for your help.
And small world. It was nice meeting you in person at the Yuma hamfest, in February. Cheers and best 73!

Just did get it a while ago, WX7Y, thank you. All is now good. The lessons just keep coming. :-)
Cheers and best 73,

Glad to hear it! At least you have SmartSDR while you wait for your Maestro.
