Is it possible that there could be SolarWinds customers who are not vulnerable because, for whatever reason, they did not enable/install updates. Were updates to the Orion software necessary for the original software to continue to function or were they optional.

They've said that 33k customers were potentially exposed but only 18k actually downloaded that update.

They were optional. I know a company still using a version from 2015/2016.
