Remove 'Acquiring Serial' Box?

[NavalNewZ]

For the new Unity patch, it seems that internet connection is required to get the serials (re)registered? I play this game on a computer that doesn't have internet connection. It looks like I can play the game, but there is a shaded box near the top of the screen with the message 'Acquiring serials info' Is there a way to get rid of this?

Same issue here. Does not stop me playing this much improved game, but if I could get rid of it I would.

Sorry, I need to confirm this with the producer/developer.
I'll let you know as soon as possible.

10 years later... Anyone has a solution for this? It should be possible somehow to convince the game that it has already failed to acquire the serial info? It never seems to time out, and it is no fun to try to play battles with that distracting box covering part of the upper screen. Can't close it more move it.
