Turning off license noticesAnalyse-it tells the person using it when the license or its maintenance is about to expire, and again after it has expired. Each notice offers to open analyse-it.com to renew. Turn the notices off when you renew licenses for the people in your organisation and do not want them contacted about renewals.

  • Analyse-it 6.22 or later on each computer. Earlier versions ignore the setting.
  • You will need an administrator to make this change on each computer.

The software stops working on the day an annual license expires. When that happens Analyse-it shows one more notice, which says that you have turned the notices off and that the person must contact you. The notice does not offer to open analyse-it.com. It is shown once for each expiry date, so renewing the license shows it again the next time that license expires.

Important: The setting applies however Analyse-it was installed, for everyone who uses the computer or just for a Windows account. It does not turn off update notices; for those, see Turning off updates.
Note: A free trial is not affected. The trial continues to show the days remaining, and that it has ended.

Set this registry value on each computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Analyse-it\Analyse-it for Microsoft Excel

Value name DisableLicenseNotices, type REG_DWORD, data 1. Set it to 0, or delete it, to show the notices again.

Use Group Policy Preferences to set it on many computers.

Analyse-it no longer shows license expiry or maintenance renewal notices, apart from the final notice for an annual license that has expired. Check the expiry dates yourself and renew before they pass; see Checking maintenance expiry and renewing.

This setting changes only the notices shown by the software on that computer. E-mail about maintenance expiring is still sent to the people registered on the license.
