   The fix for the Obsolete Licensing thing. It's in the link on the anterior reply.

   I used the update found in that link, and that actually got my Intel ME up to a more recent version. I was using the one found on the ASrock downloads page, and it wouldnt update me beyond the version that was dated 6/2017. Now my ME driver version is dated 1/2018, so that's good.  
 
 However intel just got back to me and said they wont be supporting SGX on the x299 chipset, so none of this matters for me. RMA time. I wont be saddled with a board and CPU that can only do 50% of what I built them to do, and it isn't my fault that a burdensome, mostly broken type of DRM was added to the chipset AFTER IT LEFT THE PRODUCTION LINE. That is a "gotcha" situation that I will not be dealing with.

   Sorry - should have said that despite installing the above ME, my CPU/chipset are still vulnerable to the SA-00086 thing.

   I've noticed the new (2.00) firmware is posted in the BIOS section for the x299 boards.  
 
 Has anyone.... done any testing on this code? Is there any feedback from bench testing? I am feeling very low-confidence about all this, and I don't plan on installing mitigation firmware that potentially contains more issues, or more support for more DRM issues...

   Hey @Wardog, I can no longer reply to your PMs. System says I've exceeded my hourly limit of 5 msgs.
