RE: [datacolor_group] Spyder3Pro 3.1.3

2010-02-06 by John Slaughterbeck

It is running,  set to remind me in one week. Does the  calibration unit
need to be plugged in all the time for the nagware to work ?  I usually
don't have it plugged in if I'm not running Photoshop or light room as I
don't care about ambient light under normal conditions, and it eats up a usb
port.

It's not the calibration application that holds the "nagware", it's the
Spyder3Utility. Is that running? When you open the Utility's menu, is your
recal warning set to the value you want (as opposed to "never")? Is the
Utility functioning in other ways, such as changing icon color for different
ambient light levels, or outdated display calibration? 

 

If so, then it would seem to be the process of popping up the warning dialog
box that is failing to happen. If not, then it's some other factor with
having the Utility triggered at startup, or keeping your preferences, or
some such. But no, this is not normal, or even common.
