    Default nag screen? can I please get this to stop showing?

    Hey I have XPG&D 15.1.0.53605 and it looks like my "upgrade service" has ended. Every single time I load the software I get a nag screen. I am aware that it is out of the range where I can upgrade it now, but don't need to know this many times. It does not have any checkboxes to not show anymore. Am I stuck with this every single time, or can I remove it somehow? Really after the last "update fix" I have almost had enough with this software and company because how they messed up core functionality... but I need it for my full time job. Any help? Thanks!

    Both have the means to be stopped from re-appearing.
    Does XPG&D not have similar?

    I was getting one for DPX 16. But it seems to have stopped.

    Could a Mod move this to the Dear Xara forum as the omission of a cancellation mechanism is either bad coding or extremely poor marketing where Magix is wholly missing the point of professional software?

    I currently have XPGD 365 v12, and I was getting this also, and the way I got it to stop is, close out the pop ups, and once I was at the main program I went to "See attached Image" Hope that is of some help. But yes I agree it is a pain.

    Funny how irritated folks get about these things and yet for others it’s like water off a ducks back (ie no problem at all). Personally I have a quick swear at MAGIX, click the don’t show this again box knowing full well it will probably be there next time, and try and get on with life.

    I guess it is just another straw that will eventually break the camel's back for some folk.

    I have 12 but have gone back to version 11.
    Both get a nag screen. I switch it off under Help>Info pop-ups>Turn all off.
    This holds for a few days and then the screens return again.
    Yes, it annoys the .... out of me!
    Sure I can re-do the 'Turn it all off' but that shouldn't happen in the first place.
    Grrr.

    turned popups off in v15 and nag screen still exists. This will not encourage me to upgrade. Really.
