Stacking rule, all should be same verion of IOS code to be part of the stack.,

show version give you what version running

example :

Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image Mode
------ ----- ----- ---------- ---------- ----
* 1 56 WS-C3850-48P 16.3.8 CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9 INSTALL

dir  - command show you full image name.

Latest is 16.12.05B 5 STAR (cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.12.05b.SPA.bin)

Contact Local partner to help you or contact TAC if your account locked.

Read the following Security Bulletin:  Cisco IOS XE Software Fast Reload Vulnerabilities

Pay close attention to the Customers Without Service Contracts section: 

Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC.

Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade.
