'Max number of licenses reached' notification/announcement

Is there a way to disable this notification? it even pops up in a new window when performing certain actions like editing an enrollment rule and is very intrusive.  The application's use case is often to manage a set number of devices, no more and no less.  Of course the max number of licenses are being used, who would pay for more license they wouldn't use? Can i disable this notification/announcement?

Also, i have seen a popup asking me how likely i would be to recommend SOTI to a friend, which while i understand the purposes of that feedback, is not exactly appropriate in a professional enterprise device environment.  I hope there are some options around the notifications that are allowed/disallowed that i have not found yet.

I assume this is the prompt you're referring to?

Correct.  I can see teh use case for when you are close to reaching your limit, but when you do reach your limit and you intend to stay at your limit, it is just intrusive popping up every single time you log in.  There should be a 'do not show again' option for notifications such as this one.

Hi Aaron, 

There is currently an active Feature Request from a previous case for options to toggle off the 'Max number of licenses reached' announcements.

The developers are currently evaluating the request at the moment and will implement it in a future release if approved.
Unfortunately, I do not have any more information on this at the moment.

We thank you for your suggestion and for your patience.

Regards,

I too would like to see this improved. If there was a way to set the threshold to a certain number, that would be great. For example, if I could have it not alert me until I get to less than 10 free licenses.

Hi Miles, 

Unfortunately there is currently no way to adjust this, but I will add your suggestion to the Feature Request regarding having more granular controls for the notifications.

Thank you for your recommendation.

I concur with the original poster; this licensing message is quite possibly one of the most annoying notifications in MobiControl. Ever.

In fact, it's so annoying that I literally unenrolled a dozen devices I pre-enroll as backups to fall below the notification limit so it stops bothering me.

Very soon, I am going to take apart the HTML/CSS/JS files to mute the useless message.

This new "next generation UI" is seriously flawed and unpleasant to work with. I'd kill to have the old UI back.
