NEDM64:
Question is... will it break the Riglol license(s)?

That question must have been asked and answered dozens of times in this thread. And it gets re-asked for every new firmware update, it seems.
From the scope firmware's perspective, "Riglol licenses" are the same as the officially bought upgrades -- exactly the same license codes. How would Rigol ever be able to cancel those licenses?
The only way would be to introduce a new licensing scheme and issue new keys to all customers who have bought licenses officially. Fat chance that they have separate records on all those customers around the world, over the past 7 (?) years... No, I am quite confident that Rigol will keep the original licensing scheme for the lifetime of this scope series.

Unless Rigol is using multiple private keys and riglol is using one of them and then they deactivate riglol's private key.
Sounds unprovable? To me it's even more unprovable that someone cracked the private key out of a public key, riglol must have been made with access to rigol's company secrets.
RoGeorge:
The licenses remain valid over firmware upgrades, and the key was cracked, not stolen or leaked. Pleas don't argue based on assumptions only.
Anybody have a screen capture to attach here with the new Rigol logo in blue, please?
bffargo:
Logos all same color (White boot, darker yellow upper left corner).
After upgrade and a full power off/reboot; it was acting very strange. I ended up doing a full recalibrate:
- Auto mode would never set positions or scale right for either vertical or or horizontal
- Auto mode kept kicking CH2 on even without a probe attached and then using that to base scaling on
I gave up early on in figuring out what was messed up, it was easier to kick off recalibrate and walk away for half an hour instead. It's back to working fine.
