Am I the only one that finds the advertising bar in SDP petty and a huge distraction? My users often ask why it's there or why didn't we enable PMP etc?

I don't know. I can see having it there until you are a paying customer. I am a happy customer - but I dont like that the product looks to my end users like freeware or worse like we didn't buy everything required. 

Can we get a checkbox to disable the links to the other products?
