ready-api-maven-plugin licence errors flooding and bloating log files.

We get the following errors flooding our log files when we use  the ready-api-maven-plugin which comes from com.smartbear. We are using version 3.42.1.

we run 100s of tests and this is taking up a lot of space the servers. We have to run PowerShell scripts to remove the errors so the logs are useable.

We are on a network disconnected from the internet (and never will be) and we don't have licences for ReadyAPI Virtualization module or ReadyAPI Performance module in our on premises Smartbear license server. We don't think we are using anything that would need these licences so not sure why it keeps seeing if it can get to the internet license servers many many times.

i have this feeling we are missing something really obvious.
