@ plutomaniac:
Thanks for the quick reply and the clear statement.
I must admit, that I didn’t know, that the ME Analyzer, which is part of the UBU tool, shows something else than the MEInfo tool, but after having run the latest MEA.exe with the command suffix -info I got clarity:
Ah no, just like UBU shows what Intel oROMs/Modules a given SPI image has, it also calles MEA which it turn shows what ME a given SPI image comes with.
When it comes to what firmware the actual system has at it’s SPI chip you can use MEA (only for firmware & driver versions) or MEInfo of course. MEA -info is just a lot faster to perform (and multi-platform) when only the firmware or driver version is what you are looking for. 
Yes, my previous post was the result of an error of reasoning.
There is a big difference between the Intel ME Firmware, which is within a BIOS file, and the Intel ME Firmware, which is within the BIOS chip of the user.
Thanks again for the clarification.
Hi.
I was using your tools to see wich firmware version had and Me Analyzer shows a message to report it here.
I have a Gigabyte GA-Q77M-D2H (rev. 1.0) motherboard.
By the way, can’t extract Intel ME System Tools v8.1 r7.rar. 7-zip says it can’t be opened as a compressed file.
Regards.
@ PsyduckAP:
Thank you very much for registering to let me know of this. To extract the System Tools you need WinRar 5.x or the latest version of 7-zip. Are you planning to update your firmware? Can you do me a quick small favor? At the System Tools package, go to FWUpdate folder (let’s say Windows64), open a command prompt and run FWUpdLcl64 -save ME.bin. Then attach here the ME.bin file that appeared. I am looking for people who have “corporate” systems with 5MB firmware like yours and thus the message you saw.
Ooops, old version of 7-zip.
ME.bin has 4MB size. How can I upload it?
Here it is. renamed to jpg because can’t upload .7z
Anything else before upgrading?
ME.rar (2.38 MB)
Put it into a WinRAR archive and attach it to your post.
Okay, now I know my firmware (and driver) version. And now?
What benefit do I have if I update Intel ME firmware? More NSA surveillance?
@ PsyduckAP:
Thank you for the file you attached. I downloaded it with difficulty due to forum weirdness with certain filetyes so I re-packaged/attached it as a .rar archive. Check the other thread you opened for a reply regarding your update problem.
@ pustekuchencake:
Thank you for using ME Analyzer. You need to determine the platform as well to know whether you need 1.5MB or 5MB firmware. Afterwards you can proceed to update to the latest ME8 firmware which is 8.1.65.1586. The ME is practically the backbone of a modern Intel system, more info on it’s uses and “hidden” benefits at the ME thread.

Thank you aragog for using MEA and for reporting your 5MB system. The new 1.4.0 version of MEA does not show that message for ME8 as I’ve already found another user with such system. But if you want, use FWUpdate tool (also attached) with the command FWUpdLcl64.exe -save me.bin and upload/attach the resulting file. I see the system language is not English (Russian I think) and since this message is also language related I’d like to see your own resulting file as well if you may.
