Do you have an idea what are the Intel MEI v1805.0.1097 branch ? A new unified labelling ?
They are offered on stationdrivers (cuurently for 1.5 MB Consumer firmware)

Intel CSME System Tools v11 r9

@ Vasudev:

All those questions stem from ignorance which you can mostly research by yourself (MEInfo, FPF, MC). If you have the latest firmware applied, you don't have to worry about past vulnerabilities.

Thanks @plutomaniac. Eventhough I have read it so many times, I am still too scared of a wild exploit due to my OCD.
So upgrading ME will not cause Windows OEM license embedded in the BIOS?
I had strange issues like TPM device showing Code 10 error and didn't get any errors for W10 product key. I finally did a NVRAM reset and PC was good as new.
Can I link your CSME tools and FW to my friends and other forums w/o breaking your T&C?

The Engine and BIOS firmware are separate but can communicate with each other for certain tasks. The NVRAM and OEM Key are BIOS related, not Engine. The Engine tools & firmware are not my own but Intel's. Of course you can freely link to this thread, no problem whatsoever.

Whatever the speculations are on what is "Intel MEI v1805.0.1097" driver, this one can"t be installed on a X99 platform.

@100PIER:
plutomaniac will be able to write more about the usability of this brandnew Intel MEI driver with its extraordinary version number.
By the way: I had no problem to get the new Intel HECI driver v1803.12.0.1093 manually installed onto my Z170 chipset system.
The compatibility depends on the DeviceID of the Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (the MEI DeviceID of my Z170 system is DEV_A13A).
Here is the related excerpt for Win10 x64 from the heci.inf file:

Thanks Fernando,
My MEI DeviceID is DEV_8D3A and yes is not supported as heci.inf file for W10 x64 does indicate.
So, I assume this new branch driver is developped for new generation (and however does support very recent only) chipset and get a new labelleing instead of a expected "v12.x" branch.

The included new Intel MEI drivers have the version 1803.12.0.1093.
Maybe this strange numbering indicates, that these drivers have been designed by Intel for the upcoming v1803 (Readstone4) of Win10.

EDIT: Ok, after having read plutomaniac's link I have realized, that the first 4 numbers mean the year and the week, when the related driver has been compiled by Intel (1803 means the 3rd week of 2018). Thanks to plutomaniac!

1803.12.0.1093 MEI driver is now on Windows Update catalog. Looking at INF it advertises Cannon Lake ME12 support. It also supports ME11.x and ME10 as such it supports Broadwell and above. However in a weird twist it doesn't seam to advertise Cofee Lake support.
