Nik Collection plugins endlessly annyoing with update notifications

Hi,
every time I open my Color Efex plugin, there’s an update notification. Every. Single. Time. I don’t want to update when everything is running fine, but I can for the love of god not figure out how to get rid of it. In older version (v5/6 I think) you could work around by changing the last check for update time manually in a NikCollection.cfg file, but that is not an option anymore, it doesn’t work. Tried that.

Also tried blocking the plugin’s exe file in my firewall, but that only results in the plugin not starting anymore since it can’t check for the license.

Is there ANY working anti-update-nag fix vor v8 to date?

Why they just don’t include a checkbox “don’t ask me again” is beyond me.

DxO has been asked about this many times. The notifications are supposed to go away after 30 days. If they don’t, I suggest contacting tech support.

I completely agree.

If I read DxO’s guff correctly the Nik v8.1 update is a free update for users of v8.

Even so, I share your view of DxO’s nagging behaviour. It’s just ridiculous.
