Thank you for your reply!
Yes, this is correct, HSI-1, HSI-2 and HSI-3 will be achieved starting from the next firmware updates. Also for the initial firmware versions of the V54 and V56 Series, unless you have chosen not to fuse your laptop for whatever reason. As said, this fusing process (an important step for Intel Boot Guard) will remain optional.
We will make this part of the default scope of our NovaCustom laptops, which means that there is no subscription required for that.
