Easiest method:

have the HUD contact a website for a server UUID and then email the given UUID a version request.

compare the reply to the HUDs own version number and if they don't match... request a replacement hud from said server which will then hand you the appropriate item.

Said server would use the given website to keep the UUID there up to date if it ever happens to change.
