I have read through some of these threads, but correct me if I am wrong. If I have a mixture of Enterprise licenses and Community supported systems, I need to have an 80% mixture in favor of Enterprise to qualify for an Enterprise license for the Datacenter Manager?
Licensing Question

Small but important difference: the license of Proxmox products is primarily the AGPLv3.
What you are buying are subscriptions. In order to get updates from the enterprise repository (best tested, recommended for production) you need to have a subscription.
With the PDM it is now so, that it doesn't need a dedicated subscription by itself, but the connected systems. And you need to have at least 80% with Basic or higher subscription levels for it to be able to access the enterprise update repository.

I understand the subscription model. I think I am understanding the second paragraph. If I have three enterprise subscriptions. IF I add the PDM, I can update the connected systems through the enterprise update repository. However, if I add even one community supported Proxmox server to the PDM, that would take subscriptions below the 80% threshold to 75%. Then I would have to go to each licensed enterprise subscription Proxmox instance to update (not through PDM), but I would be able to manage the non licensed Proxmox instance through either the Proxmox instance or the PDM? I hope I am not overthinking this. Thank you for your kind and prompt responses to my questions. You have been most helpful.
It is only about the repositories that the PDM itself can access to get its own updates. Using the update function for seeing available updates and trigger them from the PDM directly is working either way in my experience.
