Hello John,
I have tried with MKM34Z256 MCU using Multilink Universal & IAR 7.50.1 seeing no issue. Note however that debug window asked also for entering an exact device so perhaps that might be root-cause of your problem.
In bare-metal drivers for MKM device family you can enable security by defining BOOT_FLASH_SECURE constant in an appconfig.h header file. This definition has no impact if code is flashed to the device for the first time.
Kind regards,
Martin M.
