This is a big update.

Just installed without problems.

During the install process, the update tried to install this driver :

"Intel(R) C600/X79 séries chipset Thermal Management Controller"

When I refused :

What is the link between the intel driver and ilok ?

I can't find any.

EDIT :  maybe has something to do with USB ports for the dongle (which I don't use) but that doesn't explain the "thermal management" bit.

Windows flagged the driver as not having a valid certificate, which is the reason I initially refused.

Not wanting to lose an afternoon, I reinstalled, accepted the driver installation, and everything seems fine.

I can't say for sure - my guess would be that it's a motherboard driver that's responsible for using thermal sensors/sending signals to onboard cooling fans (i.e. a very low-level driver); ilok is a very low-level security related driver that wants access to everything, and the two both overlap in some way?
