iLok License Manager issues on AMD 9000 Series CPUs

[NDRE28]

Hello! 

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Zen 5) CPU. 

PROBLEM: 
I am using VST plugins that are being activated through iLok License Manager. 
However, since switching to AMD, I haven't been able to use the iLok because of the "Error 2001: Background Component Unavailable". 
The iLok team (PACE) said that there is a bug in the microarchitecture of Zen 5 CPUs which blocks iLok from working properly. 
There's nothing that they can do to solve the issue. 

SOLUTION: 
AMD Zen 5 (9000 Series) CPUs need a microcode update to remove the error. 

CONCLUSION (MY ADVICE):
•If you are using iLok to activate your software, don't buy an AMD Zen 5 CPU just yet!
•If you already have an AMD Zen 5 CPU, don't buy any software that requires activation through iLok!

Best regards!
