Cpt. Obvious is sure to say something like "Just buy a license bro". Though, other's could be wondering... How do I remove the expired / invalid license nag?

insane amount of notification nags

I recommend adding an option to remove expired / invalid license nag. You can cut (or delete) a small snippet of code from local file:

\wordpress-seo-premium\vendor\yoast\license-manager\class-license-manager.php

before uploading it to remote location:

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo-premium/vendor/yoast/license-manager/class-license-manager.php

Specifically, you'll want to remove lines 117 thru 119

<div class="notice notice-error yoast-notice-error">
    <p><?php printf( __( $message, $this->product->get_text_domain() ), $this->product->get_item_name(), $this->product->get_license_page_url(), $this->product->get_tracking_url( 'activate-license-notice' ) ); ?></p>
</div>

This is how you delete and remove the license nag

@grand-lotus-iroh you have premium Yoast plugins installed and Yoast is rightfully asking for a license key. Why would we block that? Just enter the license key.

Deleting code from the Yoast plugin is not how this plugin functions.

@grand-lotus-iroh I agree with @afragen, the Hide SEO Bloat plugin is to hide/remove the bloat from the free version of the Yoast SEO plugin. If you choose to buy into the premium version, then (obviously) you need a license key. We would never hide or remove such a notice.
