"A software upgrade is available. You may experience a brief network interruption while upgrading.
Upgrade will begin automatically in: <time>"

You encounter this behavior in any of the following scenarios:

You are running the upgrade from the WFBS 6.0 SP3 client.
You moved the client to a WFBS 8.0/9.0 server using IpXfer.exe.
Note: You can use other ways to upgrade the client.
You delayed the upgrade for 24 hours.
You clicked Remind Me later and restarted the system.
The pop-up notification restarted the countdown after the restart.
You clicked Upgrade Now, but the notification popped up again after 18 minutes based on the tmupgrade log. Below is a snapshot of the log:

10/15 15:10:17 0d8c-0cf0 (5) CTmUpgradeUI Dialog time to show:(00:05:00) - TmUpgradeUILog(172)

The issue happens because there is not enough disk space for the upgrade.

The only way to stop this notification is to upgrade/install again the SA.
