disable educational plot stamp warning

[Anonymous]

Anyone know how to make this irritating warning go away?  Yes, I understand all plots done from files saved with an educational version will have a stamp, I don't need a reminder every time I open a file.

Pay for the commerical version. I'm sure there's a way or hack that can do it but I figure as long as it's free what's one little click "OK" dialog.

Adjust your start up.  It worked for me.

Thanks for the answer.  Could you explain a little more about how you did that?

Murph, I'm not sure if you're trying to be cute, or helpful, but your answer is neither.  Let me explain the problem further, so nobody else gives me a flippant answer like,  "Just go buy a license for $3000 and that message will go away".  I use C3D at work.  At home, I use the educational version to do continuing education.  I open lots and lots of files.  The warning about the educational version slows me down.  Does anyone know the command to turn it off?  Thank you.

Perhaps you should have explained this in the first place.  As far as I know, Autodesk allows a "take home" copy if your employer is OK with it.

BTW, don't bash our Murph, he is one of our good guys.

Look into the variable "startup".  Two options 0 or 1.  Set it to 1.

The answer is you are not supposed to be able to turn that off in the educational version, otherwise thousands of companies would find a way to get their hands on educational versions and use them for their work.

If your employer maintains subscription, you can request a home-use license--unless you would rather not have your employer asking you to finish your work at home.    😉

Being honest is all.

If you are talking about the dialog warning as in my attached image then create your own dwt file and set that as your starting template. Then when you create a new dwg you will not get the warning unless you open a dwg that was created in a commercial version. If you want a way to never get that warning no matter what dwg you open you need to hack the system however no regular user on this site will tell you how to do that.

If you search and read all the threads on the Educational version, plot stamps and files infections and everything else on that warning or about the Education versions you may understand why it's there. My thought is still "hey it's free I'll put up with the extra time it takes to click the OK"

For clarification, adjusting the startup as I previously posted does not disable the Educational Plot Stamp when plotting, see attached.  It just changes the startup of whatever version of AutoDesk product you use, if you want to open into a blank drawing, or load a template or browse for a file and that's it.  Some of you should actually read the OP and do your research before chiming in.  These forums are to learn from our or someone else's mistakes and experiences.  I am aware this is an open forum and in my opinion NO ONE here is an expert even though there are many here who think they are.  I understand there are a few jokesters on these forums, so for you sensitive types.  Just go with it.

Nope, my neighbor's co-worker was looking for a bike and I wasn't riding that much so I sold it to him, I got more for it than if I traded it in on new one. Besides as hot as it is right now it's best to wait a few months before I start looking again.
