in the picture. It's the FW older, i see not this text in the scope.
Any ideas?

It means, the scope recognizes the GEL file's version info. Of course, you have the latest and it is why you see that message. All newly manufactured scopes are protected against a firmware downgrade, it is why you see nothing (as hacking GEL files is version 2.0).
It is time to JTAG dump ...

Hi all:
Brand new at scopes, just received my DS2072A-S. I'm very interested in this upgrade but a bit scared. My unit arrived with Firmware 00.02.01.00.03 installed, and from this thread I get the feeling I should be glad it does not have the newer version. I have a few questions.
1. Since mine is the -S version, does this present any difficulties? I imagine the firmware is the same but I'd like to know if anyone has done this with the -S version successfully.
2. I am running on an iMac 27" system. I do have Parallels installed and can run Windows 8. Any reason this won't work? I do have an old PC I could resort to, but haven't fired it up in about a year.
3. Is there anything illegal about this? I don't recall approving any user licenses when I started up my scope, but I'm curious about the legalities.
Thanks for any encouragement you all can offer.
Edited to add:
OK, I got brave and gave it a try... everything seemed to work fine, up to the point where you plug the scope into the computer. The scope does not show up on the select screen. And yes, I did make sure USB Devices is set to "Computer" on the scope's Utility menu.
I feel like I am so close, yet so far... Any ideas, anyone?
Second update: I fired up my old PC and tried the update there. Again, the update utility does not see the scope when I plug it in. Please help!
RLSprouse:
BTO, in his "Short Post" suggested plugging the scope into the computer using the FRONT USB port on the scope... but, is that possible? It is a USB - A port, and all the USB cables I have are USB - A to USB - B. Can I get an A-A USB cable, and will that work?

You can connect either through the USB port on the back of the scope or via the Ethernet port connected to a network.
Did you install the National Instruments IVI/VISA driver?
Are you able to see the scope with the Rigol Ultra Sigma utility?
