Recommend you contact the Developer at <https://sqwarq.com/contact/ 
<https://sqwarq.com/contact/>>. Phil has been a colleague of mine for several 
years and very responsive. Operates out of Australia.

You should be aware that if you are actually using the older DetectX rather 
thanDetectX Swift, it's not going to be supported beyond next May. He posted 
the following to his Slack community late last week:

1. The older versions of DetectX (not DetectX Swift) are no longer being 
offered for download on the Sqwarq site.
2. The older versions will continue to receive maintenance updates and search 
definition updates until June 1st, 2020.
3. It is no longer possible to buy registration keys for the older versions of 
DetectX.
