go to "\PPGlobal" folder (default install path C:\PPGlobal) and edit the client.bat
Look for the line "set SKIP_SCANNER_DRIVER=0" and update it to "set SKIP_SCANNER_DRIVER=1"

If the line "set SKIP_SCANNER_DRIVER=0" is not existing, add the following parameter in the client.bat just above 'setlocal'
set SKIP_SCANNER_DRIVER=1
Please note that this step has to be performed on each client station that needs the SDK disabled.
