Unusually frequent license checks
« on: June 04, 2026, 01:39:27 PM »
So, I'm on perpetual license (updates expired in march).
I installed a new beta and used it for a bit, but then it seems it expired too or something activation window popped up.
I deleted beta and installed last version I am allowed to use (2026.2), but now I get license check window 3 days in a row. Every time I launch PM.
Can I stop it?

It shouldn't check that often unless there is something wrong with the previous checks.  For a problem like this, I suggest contacting our support folks at:

This may sound really dumb, but it caught me a while back.   Are you on a Mac and launching from a pinned Dock icon?   I had downloaded an update and installed it but the Dock icon was tied to the previous version of the application, which was still installed in a diffrent folder location (ie, not my Applications folder).   Every time I launched it landed to old version of the app and gave the window about new software.

Just deleted the BETA in Applications. Let's see how it goes.
But yeah, license checks once a day continued before that
