Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 12 Ultra program is not keeping up with the latest firmware

Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 12 Ultra program is not keeping up with the latest AACS BD+ encryption keys. One of my family members rented Prometheus on Blu-ray which was released on October 9th 2012. When Prometheus on Blu-ray is placed in a computer Blu-ray drive with PowerDVD 12 Ultra installed the following big red Warning message from 20th Century Fox is displayed on the screen:

“Warning” “Your Blu-ray Player requires an update in order to play this disc.”

The problem is the latest firmware update from Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 12 Ultra lacks the required AACS BD+ encryption keys to play Prometheus. For people that own portable 20.1 inch HD quality Notebook computers and HD quality desktop computer monitors this is disappointing that Cyberlink is not keeping up with the latest required firmware updates.

Prometheus plays perfectly fine on OPPO and Panasonic Blu-ray players I tested since they have the latest AACS BD+ encryption keys to play the latest new releases.
