How to remove the FloWorks : license unknown pic?

All model files that I create will have this dialog on FloWorks, though they do not use any FloWorks objects. I've also tried to disable the module in "Global Preferences->Libraries" but it is still there. How can I remove this dialog from the model file?

This is irritating to my client in particular when they are not using FloWorks at all.

FYI. This happened only after I've worked on a project using FloWorks

@pc neo

You can rename the module folder, for example like this:


This makes sure that the FloWorks module is not loaded and should prevent the dialog.

Thanks for the quick response. It does not seem to solve the issue.

The below is what I've tried.

a) FlexSim 21.0.3 - rename module. Reopen the attached file. The dialog is present.

b) FlexSim 21.1.0 - no installation of FloWorks. A newly created model will not have the dialog. But the attached model when it is upgraded to 21.1.0, the dialog is present.

@pc neo,

If you renamed the module and open your model it is indeed possible the the dialog is still present, in that case you should click "Open default workspace" under view in the toolbar.

This removes the dialog and it won't show up again unless you rename the FloWorks module back again.

@pc neo

You can uninstall FlowWorks module in Control Board of Windows system.

It's the reverse of installation FloWorks module.

Thank you. I have tried this approach too and I will need to do a "Open default workspace" to remove the dialog after I opened the attached model.
