Disabling Automatic Update Notification for a
Project
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.
Task 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.
Task 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.
