    Default Update Service period expired pop up

    After many years I have decided not to update Xara Designer Pro X until there are any new or improved features that would enhance my quality of life.
    Now, every time I launch the programme I get the pop up:

    Your update Service period expired.

    This is amazingly annoying. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

    Do you not have a checkbox?

    Nope. That would be too easy :-)

    That would be annoying. Try Help/Info popups/Turn all on & see if this brings up the window as in Acorns attachment. Then switch them all Off again. Don't know if it will work, but worth a try.

    I tried that and it doesn't seem to affect this particular pop-up :-(

    You could borrow mine; I'm not using it.

    No checkbox? I can imagine that is really annoying. Is this something introduced in v15? I'm still on 12. Seriously though a pro-program that you pay significant money on cutting features/content and then nagging you everytime you launch? It's like Xara are doing their best to drive users away.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I'm hoping it will eventually get fed up when it realises I'm not going to update :-(
