Remove Proxmox 5.4 “No Valid Subscription” message

If, like me, you are using Proxmox in your Homelab, it is can get a bit annoying to see the “No valid Subscription” message, every time you log in.

Purchasing a subscription from Proxmox is certainly recommended if you’re planning to use it in anger or in a production environment as it will give you access to support, the enterprise repository and keep the developers supported.

But for a test environment, you can remove the message by simply editing one of the JavaScript files on the server.

This file does get overwritten when you update so you will need to reapply when that happens.

Detailed Approach

$ cd /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-tookit 
$ cp proxmoxlib.js proxmoxlib.js.old
$ vi proxmoxlib.js

Search for Active until you find it in the following line

if (data.status !== 'Active') {  
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

And change it to

if (false) {
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Save the file and exit. Now restart the service to load the updated file.

$ systemctl restart pveproxy.service
Code language: Bash (bash)

One Liner Approach

$ sed -i.bak "s/data.status !== 'Active'/false/g" /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js && systemctl restart pveproxy.service
Code language: Bash (bash)

Even if you are feeling brave, I would recommend that you take a backup of proxmoxlib.js file before running the above command, just to be safe.
