Eval banner - why??

Why in the heck does we need to see the Eval banner. It freaks out my users and makes everyone wonder what is going on thinking there may be a licensing issue.

6 products licensed. 1 product in evaluation.

I see no purpose for that at all, it just causes issues.

We put it in there when something is in eval mode so that no one is surprised when it runs out and the system stops working.

Feature request to make this an option that one can turn on/off, but defaults on.

For someone like me the constant reminder is nice, for someone like Donald it may not be necessary.

I can see that it would be a nice feature to be able to control the reminders or messages.

Or maybe it could be set to only be seen by accounts with admin rights, like the messages indicating new blog posts and new NPM product updates.

Any news on this? It also shows on all the PDFs and scheduled reports generated from pages. This is really a nuisance. I didn't even ask for evaluation products. They just came as part of the NPM 12.0.1 and SAM 6.3 upgrade process.
