How can I change my units from meters to feet & inches after I've already imported and registered my scans?
Yes, I would recommend installing the latest version.

You’ll receive 30 days trial of scan-to-scan registration and feature to add survey points.
Everything else is free and has many enhancements than the older version.
You can open structured scans (fls, ptx, ptg and zfs files) and view them in “RealView” mode, upload and share on the cloud.
Sample attached.

How do you force Recap to import in meters? By the time I import the scans, it's too late, and Recap has "auto appropriated" the incorrect units, and all I can do is change the way they're viewed.
Unfortunately you cannot change the scale before or even after indexing the data in ReCap. You can only change the display units.
You can change the scale for text (TXT) file formats in advance settings before indexing, but that's unstructured data and ReCap cannot use those for alignment, if that is the intention.
The only way you can make the scaling of rcs files is afterwards in AutoCad, Revit or other Autodesk products.

Please refer to this thread:

In here are described the steps for changing the point cloud scale.
Note: this only works for .txt scan formats
