The Smart Managed Plus switches don't require or enforce a registration, indeed. Out of the box, or following a factory reset, there is a pop-up suggesting the product registration - and this comes with an option for a [x] tick to never show up again.

An error occurred while accessing the NETGEAR registration server. Check your Internet connection, and then try again.
And the "Plus" they are selling no longer works with windows 10 because adobe air and PKAp or some such install doesn't work.
