	- I do not know the exact date drives started being produced with BEE, but it may have been around 2011. Regardless, just check whether your drive has BEE via the above method to be sure.		- I do not know the exact date drives started being produced with BEE, but it may have been around 2011.

	'''2~~. Dump with a libredrive firmware drive, as these drives have BEE disabled in firmware already.'''~~		'''2. Dump with a libredrive compatible drive, like ribshark's modified ASUS firmware, after having opened MakeMKV once with that drive, and said drive not having been unpowered long enough to clear its memory. While BEE is still enabled in ribshark's firmware, the libredrive microcode stuff isn't patched out, and so as long as you open makemkv, it'll (among other things) disable the drive's BEE.'''

	~~- Self explanatory.~~

	- FindVUK will still tell you that your drive has BEE, but will still give you proper AACSkeys dumps as long as you've disabled BEE via makeMKV before running it. DiC/redumper/etc will also still give you good dumps as long as you've disabled BEE via makeMKV before running them. If you want to be sure, it's always good to test BEE dumps via VLC, as described below.		- FindVUK will still tell you that your drive has BEE, but will still give you proper AACSkeys dumps as long as you've disabled BEE via makeMKV before running it.

If you want to be sure, it's always good to test BEE dumps via VLC, as described below.

	In order to ensure your dump is good, it's recommended to set up VLC to play back AACS-encrypted bluray .iso files directly, via the necessary steps involving libaacs. If you don't mind the lack of BD-J menus, you might want to disable them in VLC, as it can be difficult to configure Java properly for BD-J, and it'll make it harder to tell if your dump is good if you're trying to figure out if a disc isn't playing because of AACS issues or because of Java issues. If you have set that up already, you can just try playing your dumped .iso in VLC, provided the AACS keys are in your aacs KEYDB.cfg. If they aren't there, but you've dumped your AACS keys via FindVUK already, you can copy the relevant line from FindVUK's VUKbackup cfg file into your KEYDB.cfg. If the disc plays in VLC, you've dumped your disc image and AACSkeys properly. If the disc does not play in VLC, and instead it throws aacs errors in the logs, assuming you've set up VLC to play back AACS-encrypted bluray .iso files properly (test with a non-BEE bluray first to make sure), then you've dumped your disc image or AACSkeys improperly.

	This method is the easiest, and works on Media Key Block (MKB) versions past 68, but past version 68 (v69 skipped, v70 in 2019-07) it can only extract the UnitKey (UK). It works as long as the drive has not yet revoked the host certificate (it's only valid until mkbv71 and got revoked in 72).

	Method 2 is believed to have similar dumping compatibility to Method 1. The only thing unknown / untested is that whether Method 1 can also extract UnitKey (UK) v70 (circa 2019-07), which Method 2 can. If Method 1 can also do this, then Method 2 should be considered deprecated as it's a more convoluted / difficult process.		Method 2 is believed to have similar dumping compatibility to Method 1.
