Could we have a 'lab' subscription license?

Where it doesn't have any connection to financials as such, something like a $30 dollar per year thing? then at least we can get rid of the pop up message that notifies it is not a subscription/licensed install (of course one could work around that, but i digress), PLUS most importantly It would feel good to know I'm donating something for using something for free in my homelab, therefore indeed all serious homelabbers can then get a "Licensed Lab'er" checkmark under their username or something similar?

Lets say there are a few hundred thousand homelabs (or more?) all using proxmox intimately in their setups, I'm pretty sure a large percentage of them would be more than happy to sign up, its just a good feeling to know you're helping even if you're not using proxmox outside of hobby/personal use.
 
the community subscription is probably too expensive for him and its per socket.
maybe he has a homelab with 10 or more sockets which amounts to quite the cost for a homelab if you get a subscription for everything.

personally i have 1 community subscription for one of my single socket nodes to support proxmox and everything else in my homelab is running unsubscribed.
the nag is harmless and only appears when you log in and when you update.

Well if community is too expensive, go with the no-subscription repo.
The nag screen is not an argument, you most likely use windows so you should be used to nag screens :p
 
i personally dont see the issue either.
im subscribed AND use the no-subscription repo anyway, because i like to try out the new stuff without waiting months for it to appear :)
