Disabling Automatic Update Notification for a Project

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

Enabling automatic update notification in your project adds about 600 KB of files to your installation. These files must be distributed with your application in order for FlexNet Connect to work. If you cannot afford to include these files in your installation because of bandwidth limitations or other reasons, you can select No to disable automatic update notifications. However, FlexNet Connect cannot be used to deploy an update unless automatic notification is enabled in the original installation when you distribute it to your end users. Therefore, if you select No, you will not be able to later take advantage of the automatic update notification features.

To disable automatic update notification for your project:

1. In the View List under Organize Your Setup, click Update Notifications.
2. For the Enable FlexNet Connect setting, select No.

InstallShield removes the FlexNet Connect files from your project.

Removing the Shortcut

If you added to your installation a shortcut that calls FlexNet Connect, you need to manually remove it.

To remove the shortcut:

1. In the View List under Configure the Target System, click Shortcuts/Folders.
2. In the Shortcuts explorer, right-click the shortcut and click Delete.
