Proxmox Virtual Environment is a popular open-source virtualization platform used by many organizations and individuals to run and manage virtual machines. While the Proxmox platform is free to use, it comes with a subscription notice that can be quite annoying. The subscription notice reminds users that they are using a free version of the platform and encourages them to purchase a subscription to access additional features and support. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to remove the Proxmox subscription notice.
Before we get started, it’s important to note that Proxmox relies on community support and contributions to maintain and improve the platform. If you find the platform useful, we encourage you to consider purchasing a subscription to support its continued development.
Now, let’s get started with removing the Proxmox subscription notice.
Step 1: SSH into your Proxmox server
The first step is to SSH into your Proxmox server. If you’re using a Windows machine, you can use an SSH client like PuTTY. If you’re using a Mac or Linux machine, you can use the built-in terminal.
Step 2: Edit the subscription file
Once you’re logged in, navigate to the /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js file using the following command:
1
nano /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js
This will open the file in the nano text editor. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the following line:
1
if (data.status !== 'Active') {
Step 3: Comment out the subscription notice
To remove the subscription notice, you need to comment out the line of code you located in Step 2. To do this, add two forward slashes at the beginning of the line, like this:
1
// if (data.status !== 'Active') {
Step 4: Save the file
Once you’ve commented out the line, save the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter.
Step 5: Restart the Proxmox web service
Restart the Proxmox web service (also be sure to clear your browser cache, depending on the browser you may need to open a new tab or restart the browser)
1
systemctl restart pveproxy.service
Step 6: Clear your browser cache
Finally, you need to clear your browser cache to see the changes. This can typically be done by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R.
And that’s it! You should no longer see the Proxmox subscription notice. However, keep in mind that this is a temporary solution and may be overwritten during future Proxmox updates. To ensure a permanent solution, you may want to consider purchasing a Proxmox subscription.
In conclusion, removing the Proxmox subscription notice is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.However, we encourage users to consider purchasing a subscription to support the development of the Proxmox platform.
