However if all the keys for your disc are already in a database like the one from FindVUK, you no longer need the host certificate (unless the disc uses bus encryption you need it for playback but that's just a small percentage of BD discs. However, all UHD discs use it).
I recently used FindVUK to find keys for a few bluray discs and noticed they all were MKBv70 and MKBv72, some of the latest released.
So I was worried about my ability to keep using that optical drive to get more disc keys in future.
