    that does not actually answer my question if you have 18, but your update service is expired for instance you will get popups

    as for the popup code - xara only supply code for the program - magix code the installer, and the popups are [almost certainly] part of that

    @handrawn and I both like rigor as I'm sure Xara does too.

    So when you state this it is totally opaque as to where you are in the Magix Update service cycle and which version (18 and/or 17) and the pop-ups and their type you are referring to.
    There are solutions for certain nag screens but without knowing what nag you are nagged over, little can be done to help or explain.

    For my out-of-cover v 18, I get an Update service period expired OK/Upgrade nag. I have a workaround for this.
    If I OK, I then get a Renew your Update Service today nag. This comes with a 'Don't show this again' checkbox. It will re-emerge with a newer "offer" at some point. Its source is C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X\18\UPS\Service_rel_u_x64_vc12.exe with QtWebEngineProcess.exe so they can be blocked.
    I then have the joy of all the XDA nags.

    Combined, these are the main reason I jumped to Xara Designer Pro+.

    Nag over.

    I upgraded to 18 3 months ago. I am tired of nagging.
