PowerDVD dual region code support no longer works?

I had the following setup working with PowerDVD 12:
- two BD drives; each drive locked to a different region code.
- If I watch EU movies I put them in drive B; US in drive A
- I am based in the US, so most movies that I am watching are US.
- Probably all BD I am watching are US, EU are DVD

This worked all fine until a recent update that broke watching any movies (US and EU).
As a result I got a copy of PowerDVD 15 (last version supported with MediaCenter integration). PowerDVD15 fixed the playback issues. However, it appears that my multi-region-code setup no longer works. If I put a EU disc into the EU locked drive, PowerDVD prompts with a dialog box to change the region code (which I only could do 5x).

Any ideas on how to accomplish this again. It seems legit to play both regions since I have two BD rives.
