DisplayLicenseNoticeSU

This setting enables you to skip the license agreement
that is displayed in the Schedule updates panel.

• If YES, the license agreement will be displayed prior

to saving changes in the Schedule updates panel of
System Update.

• If NO, the license agreement will not be displayed.

Ignore Local License

This setting enables you to show or hide the license
dialog when System Update is downloading and installing
an update package located in a repository folder such as
the network share repository.

repository is used to store update packages.

Note: If you obtain packages directly from the Lenovo
Help Center and do not use a repository for update
package storage, the IgnoreLocalLicense value will
be ignored and the license dialog will be displayed.
