Hello Emily,
Thank you for your message.
This connection alert is persistent and cannot be removed. The notification was added for security reasons and is displayed for all trial and free license users when
Internet-ID connection method is used. Also, as
johnran mentioned, users with any commercial license don't see this notification.
However, the connection alert can be clicked through (for example, like the Windows activation message). The connection warning is also not displayed for
Direct connections even for users with Free licenses or in trial mode.
Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.
Please let us know if you have other questions.
