I absolutely love Proxmox, just a shame I can’t get the passthrough working on HP MicroServer Gen8
and yes, the subscription message is a conscious decision, because even though this is free software, it takes time and money to develop it
Luke1, I have your fix, but the forum moderator(s) won't allow me to post it. Maybe I can direct you to https://dannyda.com/ and let you search the site for what you need.I changed my license model to "No-Subscription" and applied the changes as per the Proxmox VE No-Subscription Repository guide. However, this does not remove the no invalid subscription reminder message.

Is it possible to permanently remove the message or must I purchase a subscription?
I'd love to see an option to just make the message go away. Either as one time payment or as a yearly subscription.
I'd be happy to pay for an annual basic license that simply made the message go away and at least the developers get something back rather than me adjusting the code at each update.
Please dont pull that statement out of the context.You can pay the subscription yearly already
Nonetheless, would it generate revenue if you offered a way for users to "subscribe" and simply remove the nag message? This subscription would do nothing other than removing the nag screen and would of course generate some additional revenue for Proxmox.
It would be nice if it was removed with all donations though......and how many people would want this? I would not pay money just to remove a nag screen (that could also be removed by a simple sed command) without any additional benefits. Just buy the community or help out here in the forums.

I feel your pain. I've tried everything. Finally just gave up and used zfs/sharenfs/sharesmb from the base OSI absolutely love Proxmox, just a shame I can’t get the passthrough working on HP MicroServer Gen8
Note that you can continue to use those "free" proprietary products if you prefer them and how things are there.I am a professional IT-dude since over a decade but I just started my first home lab pve. I see the problems with warnings like this. Orange warnings on the overview normally means something is wrong. Since the free version of this is a normal way to run the systems, it should not in my opinion have "warnings" taking up the attention. I have had virtualization at home since 2009 on ESXi, and virtualbox and lately also Nutanix CE, totally free, and none of them have this kind of warnings. The benefit for the company is that they really proove the concepts and makes users and IT staff really comfortable with the products. The money my employer have put into VMware and Nutanix during the years is a lot. If the home use is regarded as marketing, that is a darn good way to do it in terms of return of investment.
The way Proxmox VE does things since over a decade works obviously good for us, and it ensures that an enterprise company can back delivering 100% open source software with lots of features that no "free" proprietary software offers.My conclusion is that my feelings for pve is less good since "free use" is making me less confortable in the systems. At least take away the warning associated colours, make them blue or something. Or just trust in yourself that if you make a good product people will know - without the nag screens.
The user already knows that the user has no subscription. If Proxmox really intends to inform a user then it can be done in better ways. Like it would really great if there were an option saying "Don't remind me again" on the notification.Proxmox VE is 100% open source and all features available everywhere though, and the warning is not there as joke, it's meant that you're not using the system as the vendor recommends it for production use which we obviosuly want to notice our users to avoid issues for them. If your use case isn't a production use, and you've some reasons, to not get a subscription then you will just ignore them.
Doesn't seem like a better way to me. Now it ensures that the user is always clear about the system, especially if operating on more than one and possibly even some that weren't setup by themselves.The user already knows that the user has no subscription.
