As per BOS rolling, and eventually stable, BOS will output if you have a currently-unknown executable protected with SecuROM Release Control, and tell you to report it on github. Please, please do this if it happens- these executables are encrypted, and can currently only be decrypted via a workaround involving manual activation on securom's website. This will likely stop being possible in the future, so it is urgent for preservation that you report any executables you have with it as a reply to this issue. Please include the full BOS output (the file that looks like protection-[year][etc].txt), as well as any other information, such as redump ID if it's already been accepted, barcodes, links, etc. If you'd be willing to attach the executable, that would be extremely appreciated, but if you are not comfortable doing so, then please just report what was already stated, as even that helps a lot..
