Please find this line in installconfig.properties
#ADDITIONAL_JVM_ARGS=-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

Please replace with the following line:

ADDITIONAL_JVM_ARGS=-DCHECK_UPDATES_AUTOMATICALLY=false

if you have ADDITIONAL_JVM_ARGS property already enabled, please add to the end
"-DCHECK_UPDATES_AUTOMATICALLY=false"

I, too, would like for Omniscope not to check for updates and passed the info above to our packaging team who are preparing Omniscope for deployment on our new platform. Their response was:

"this only unchecks the option in the check box “check for updates”. This will ensure no auto updates will happen. However, it will not disable the option and “check for updates” functionality when selected from the Menu bar"

is there any way to remove or completely disable this feature?

Thanks

Another solution is to use a custom branding properties file as follows, which will disable both the check, the automatic check option, and the manual check command.

Create a folder "branding" in the install folder, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Visokio Omniscope\branding".
Create a text file in this folder called "config.properties" with the following line:
AllowCheckForUpdates=false
