NRPE: Remote does not support Version 3 Packets

We are using Nagios XI with Nagios Core 4.4.5. We have updated clients to nrpe 4.0.3 agent. We get "Remote does not support Version 3 Packets" messages in the server log. How to solve this, shouldn't nrpe 4.0.3 support version 3 packets by default. Is there something missing in the configuration? We know that requests can be configured to use version 2, only, but using the newest version is better, isn't it?

EDIT:

nagios-server:~$ /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -h

Most likely you updated the NRPE client but did not update the plugins in the agent machine Run these commands to check some plugins versions (nrpe, http, ping):

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe --version
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http --version
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping --version

Also run this command to check the nrpe daemon version:

/usr/sbin/nrpe-ng --version

Most likely you would get reported version below 3 so you will need to update the plugins.
