Issue with license ( from remote ) ?

[Pigi_102]

Hello all,
I've installed a PDM ( with the helper scripts ) and have added remotes from my pve cluster and my pbs.
When I get to the dashboard I have this message stating : " No valid subscription. At least one remote does not have a valid subscription "
Going in detail the interface says that the pbs is not licensed ( status none ) but if I open the subscription page in pbs it says is valid.
Anything I could do to fix this ?

Thanks
Pierluigi

This is as expected. You need at least 80% of the remotes have a basic subscription to not get these message, see this post by a staff member:

I see references in the docs that you need basic or higher, but I also see that it says it's available in the enterprise repo - which is accessible to paid community subscribers too..right?

The license as with most of our products is AGPL so you can use PDM by yourself free of cost as you see fit. If you want to have proper enterprise subscription support and access to the Proxmox Datacenter Manager enterprise repository, at least 80% of all connected remotes need to have an enterprise subscription [1].

My guess is that you have a community subscription for PBS don't you?
You can ignore it, every feature is still available, you will just get this message from time to time, just like with a PVE or PBS without subscription.

Personally I wouldn't add PBS to PDM though: If an attacker manages to take over the datacenter manager he can control everything which is in it. Normally in case of an attack you would wipe everything and restore from your last trusted backup. If the bad actor could access the PBS in the Datacenter manager you basically can't even trust your backups. So I would really NOT add the PBS to the PDM and ensure that the users and credentials of the PBS are different from the rest of your infrastructure. YMMV
