It is the download date. When I check Passport, it says the release date is "07 April 2017". If this still won't work, I will go the uninstall route, especially since at this point TSM wont run since it says TSM isn't installed. That means that the doc saying I can just go to Passport and redownload a more-current version (until 8.1.2 comes out), is pretty useless.
