Track which users have upgraded

Admin feedback: The old tool would output a file indicating when a user had upgraded to a newer version of the tool. This functionality is still desired for the new tool.

Add some method to track which users have upgraded to a new version

This can be done in a few ways. If a user were to use this app on more than one machine, however, it becomes a bit more difficult to track.

When the app is launched, and it connects to a back end, it can send the back end the version that it is running so the back end can track the version the user is on. But, again, this is by no means foolproof. Whether the user uses more than one machine, or removes the current version and installs an older version, or perhaps other ways, this tracking system can have issues.

In the end, it may be best to have a simple notification, or message, or something that isn't really stored long term. As long as the admin can see this message somehow, that may be sufficient.
