ACT says I have the latest version--do I still need hotfixes?

I'm on Sage ACT! Premium 2011 Version 13.1.111.0.  When I click ACT Update under the Help file, it says I have the latest version.  Do I still need to apply any hotfixes if I've never done so before?  If so, does hotfix 6 have all the previous hotfixes rolled in, or do I need to apply all 6 hotfixes?

The hotfixes are cumulative -- 6 contains 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.  The hotfixes are important but you can look at the details of what each one fixed and see if you have that particular issue.  Otherwise, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is sometimes the best practice.

Okay.  I guess my main question was, are the hotfixes eventually bundled into the updates, or do you have to install them separately, even if you are running the latest version?  It seems from your reply that they have to be installed separately, that they are NOT eventually rolled into the main update that you can access from Help->ACT Update.
