Disable Check for new version

Is there a way to disable the “new version available” notice upon loading OpticStudio?  I appreciate that the software is constantly being upgraded, but on the other hand, I can’t expect our IT department to download and re-install OpticStudio for all users every month.

I’d like to know if there is a flag we can set somewhere to disable this check.

Hello! 

This is in the Opticstudio setup > project preferences > General. You can set “Check for updates” to “never”. This setting is stored in the user’s opticstudio.cfg file normally in Documents\zemax\configs.
