Can anyone tell me how to prevent Designer telling me my update service has expired every time I open the program?
I'm not sure I will update, but if I do I'll do it when ready and don't need reminding every time I open Designer.

No. None can. It all Magixal.

If you call or submit a ticket to Magix https://support2.magix.com/customer/en/contact perhaps they will share a method for turning off the messages if one exists and at the very least it will help them to understand how frustrating the messages are to customers.

I am annoyed by this as well.Quote:

Note: I am expecting that, after a while, Designer Pro will have to contact Xara's servers to validate the licence. If and when that happens, I hope all I have to do is temporarily open up the access in the firewall to allow the validation. Then close it again if the update dialogue box reappears.
I asked a MAGIX support question:
Thank you for your message.
As much as I would like to help you with your query I am afraid there is no way how to turn these notifications off.

I have managed to stop this update message with a specially crafted Windows 10 firewall rule.Quote:
