I have to agree with this. Relab are done with the LX480 and they are holding it back for a ilok update. That's just money they are not making. More than likely most people that will download a krack would not have bought it anyway so not all krack downloads are 1:1 equivalent to lost income. And a new ilok version will just be a enticing target to be kracked instantaneously when it comes out so all a developer has done is not have made money and made legit users wait.
