Endless whining about Pantone licensing

[Jann Lipka]

OSX Ventura _ Latest beta 25.3 
all of a sudden - whatever I do 
this  dialog is coming upp 
( it started to apear today ) 
I never use Pantone colors. 
How Do i stop this madness ? 

[Jann Lipka]

It seems that the issue was resolved by "reset all warnings " in preferences. 
( yes i found it here ) 

[Jann Lipka]

Unfortunately I spoke too early - 
Pantone Whining is back again - 
Opening layered documents brings it back with full force 🙂

@Jann Lipka do you have pantone colors loaded in your PS swatches?

[Jann Lipka]

I found 2 pantone swatches - removed now..

[Jann Lipka]

Removing Pantone swatches didnt help 
I hate this dialogbox. 

I work all days in Photoshop - and see it HUNDREDS of times. 
( specially when deadline is tight )

Do your files contain Pantone swatches or channels? Do you get the error when you create a new document?

Is this only an issue in the beta version? Normally this pop up only appears when PS detects Pantone spot colors in the swatches or channels (or you have a color fill layer using a spot color, etc.) There has to be a remnant of the Pantone system in either the files you are opening or still in PS somewhere.
