Firmware update? Revocation lists are distributed on disks, and for
Windows, etc. players you need to update the software. In the rare
case that someone manages to extract and leak the keys from a
hardware device, and they get banned, the only viable options seems
an update from the manufacturer. I haven't looked into this in
detail, but that's my current understanding (might well be wrong...).

That's one of the guides I read:
