Activation Wizard won't go away

I am currently using an older version of Substance Painter for which I purchased an indie license some years ago. I stopped updating just prior to the change over to the 3D variant of the product. I ended up purchasing maintainance through October of 2021 but it had since lapsed because Adobe would no longer be supporting perpetual licenses. My question is, how do I get the Activation Wizard to stop prompting me to active the product every time I launch the software? I have a license. The product was activated years ago. I have no desire to have to go through that step every time I launch the program.
