MCUXpresso IDE ships with the version of SEGGER it was developed/tested against. This version of the SEGGER software will be installed as part of the IDE installation process.
In normal usage, the IDE should identify the latest version of the SEGGER software installed on your system, and if you see problems you can modify the version that the IDE uses. But we certainly wouldn't guarantee an earlier version of SEGGER than the one that ships with the IDE will work.
A good starting point for more information would be section 3.8, "SEGGER Debug Connections", of the MCUXpresso IDE v10.1 User Guide.
Note that if you want to use SEGGER with a flashless part like LPC4370, you will need to consult SEGGER's own documentation for information on programming external (SPIFI) flash.
