How does Plex update the data for an Authorized Devices?

I originally registered my device with X-Plex-Version set to v0.0.2. It shows up correctly in the “Authorized Devices” page in the Settings.

How I want to update it to the next version of my device. I tried setting X-Plex-Version to v0.0.3 to requests, both to clients.plex.tv and to my PMS. However, “Authorized Devices” keeps showing v0.0.2, unless I re-register my device (which I’m trying to avoid).

Is there a special call to update the version (or other attributes) of an authorized device?

I’m originally registering using my main account credentials, if that’s relevant.
