The number in the addon has to be changed manually by the author each time. Some forget to change it when they upload a new version, some simply won't do an update when the addon is still working and only the number would need to be changed.

The checkbox simply skips this check and loads the addon regardless, which offers the same result as changing the number in the txt file manually for each addon.

Thank you! totally understood. But may be ZOS could change the message because You need the addon is pretty disturbing when you have the addon showing and present.
