The loader make a mod in the boot sector, doing inject SLIC from the memory every boot, if the emulated SLIC was successfully loaded, the system is activated with Cert + Key installed by program Really you doesn't need update your version for latest every release, because your SLIC its already been successfully emulated and matching with cert
@ Josh Sometimes it's worth updating as it can better place the SLIC, reduce the boot time and it also helps us to know newer builds are still working on your hardware.
