The first time that you start Apache OpenOffice, a wizard opens to guide you through the registration process. You can also start this process if you choose the Help → Registration menu item in any Apache OpenOffice program. If you want, you can use an Apache OpenOffice extension to deactivate the registration wizard as well as the Registration menu command.

To Deactivate the Registration Wizard at the First Startup of Apache OpenOffice

To use an extension to deactivate the Registration Wizard at the first startup of Apache OpenOffice:

  1. Download the DisableFirstStartWzd.oxt extension.
  2. Install Apache OpenOffice.
  3. At the command line, type: 
unopkg add --shared DisableFirstStartWzd.oxt

This will install the extension and make it available for all users of this specific Apache OpenOffice installation. You must install the extension on each Apache OpenOffice installation where you want to disable the Registration Wizard.
