Troubleshoot:

Upgrade from 32bit to the latest Catalina OS (64bit).  You may have this issue
“NVMS7000 needs update” error message.

But, the latest NVMS7000 Mac (64bit) is already compatible with the Catalina.
The reason is you are still using the old NVMS7000 version. To fix it, you need to uninstall the previous NVMS7000 Mac from the Mac Applications folder.   (Remember) UNINSTALL the broken version,
Do Not Overwrite the existed version.  To uninstall it, select NVMS7000 & dump to the trashcan, will do the uninstall.  Then, reinstall it.  I display the installation in the PDF file already.

Adding Devices to the NVMS7000 PC Client

Why Do I Need To Add Devices?
