Proxmox VE subscription key manager
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
pvesubscription COMMAND [ARGS] [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
pvesubscription manages the Proxmox VE subscription key on a node. A valid subscription enables access to the enterprise package repositories and official support channels. Without a subscription, nodes commonly use the free no-subscription repositories instead.The tool can install or remove a key, display current status, and refresh validation data from Proxmox servers. Offline key handling is reserved for internal use; for offline environments Proxmox documents separate offline mirror tooling.

CAVEATS
Subscription keys are node-specific and should not be shared across unrelated machines. Removing a key or running without a subscription does not remove Proxmox VE itself, but enterprise repo access and support entitlements change. Always verify repository configuration after changing subscription status.
HISTORY
pvesubscription is part of the Proxmox VE administration CLI suite for managing commercial subscription licenses.
