Do I need to make a color profile every time I do a shoot?

Yes. The colour profile is needed to correct any colour imbalances in camera body, lens and lighting.So for example if you were using a Canon 5d mkiii with an 85 1.8 lens on a fashion shoot outside you would take a shot of the passport in the light you will be shooting.Change a lens or if the light changes considerably you will need to do it again.Then say if you were in the studio with one body and one lens and one lighting set up you just do it once.TYpically I use mine like this though, take a shot at the start of a shoot and if I'm not changing lenses I just react to lighting changes by taking a new white balance, not a new profile.Ergo my passport sorts out my body/lens colours then ongoing white balance checks sorts out my light tone.

What version is this? I’m trying to register my product but can’t find info on the version anywhere.

I'm not sure quite what you are needing here. This is the ColorChecker Passport Photo. It is the software that comes with it that is updated and the latest seems to be "ColorChecker Camera Calibration: Version 1.1.3." Prior to that was version 1.1.2 and so on. If you have installed the software that came with the plastic passport it should give you the version that you have.
