A few users seem to have reported it by now, but I saw no effective solution yet.
Parallels Desktop for Mac 4 displays marketing announcements about a new version and they seem impossible to turn off. I turned auto-update off to no avail. I select "do not show again" each time. I looked at application setting and VM settings. Still no way to disallow PD to "phone home".
These nag screens come once a month or so, but they are very frustrating, because Parallels make my computer do something that I do not want it to do.
@Parallels:
If this is your policy, it is impolite.
I purchased PD2, then upgraded to PD3 and PD4. Registered them all.
So I have now paid for the full product twice.
I feel that I should be entitled to use it in peace, and decide on future upgrades (if any) on my own.
If this is a bug, not your policy, please tell me!
And please tell me how to fix it. I would appreciate a suggestion other than "try uninstalling and re-installing" just to see if it works.
I could hardly see if it works, because there is no telling when the next nag might come.
My PD4 build number is 4.0.3848 (Wed, 14 Oct, 2009).
Maciej.
