⚠️ Known Issue: Intel 13th/14th Gen CPUs on Windows

Some Windows systems with Intel 13th Gen or 14th Gen Core processors can experience intermittent licensing failures — most commonly a plugin (such as Virtual Microphone System) reporting "cannot run because it is corrupted, please try reinstalling," even on a fresh install. This has been traced to instability in the background iLok/PACE licensing service, and lines up with Intel's documented 13th/14th Gen voltage-related instability issue, which has primarily affected desktop CPUs. We've also seen isolated reports on laptops with 13th/14th Gen "HX" processors, though Intel's official position is that mobile chips aren't affected by the same root cause, so that connection isn't confirmed on our end.

At this time, neither Slate Digital nor iLok/PACE has a guaranteed fix for this issue. Some affected users have resolved it by updating to the latest BIOS/UEFI available from their computer or motherboard manufacturer (which may include Intel's stability microcode), while others have seen no change even on the latest available BIOS. Results vary by manufacturer and model.

If you're purchasing new hardware to run Slate Digital / Complete Access plugins, Intel 12th Gen or earlier, Intel 15th Gen (Arrow Lake) or newer, and AMD processors have not shown this issue.
