📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Testing PVE 8.4.5 in a home lab, and noticed that the subscription nag reappeared after rebooting and logging in again.

Deleting /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-nag-script and rerunning the post-pve-install helper script does not remove the subscription nag. Manually running the sed command in that script shows that it skips over the line it would be editing. I haven't had a chance to fully troubleshoot why it isn't working yet, but was able to manually apply the changes to /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js it would have applied.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

• Have PVE 8.4.1 with post-pve-install and no-nag applied
• Update from 8.4.1 to 8.4.5 (in my case) and reboot
• Logged out and logged back into admin web interface
• Receive "You do not have a valid subscription for this server" after login

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

No visible error.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Yes, the sed command is failing to match for some reason

Until this is fixed upstream, this should work for you guys.

Copy/paste the 2 commands below (one at a time) to each of your nodes

cat <<'EOF' >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-nag-script
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "dpkg -V proxmox-widget-toolkit | grep -q '/proxmoxlib\.js$'; if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then { echo 'Removing subscription nag from UI...'; sed -i '/.*data\.status.*active/{s/!//;s/active/NoMoreNagging/}' /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js; }; fi"; };
EOF

apt --reinstall install proxmox-widget-toolkit && service pveproxy restart

If you have a Solution, feel free to make an PR, I'm always busy renovating at the weekend, so I'm rarely on the PC 😅

After the workaround, the same message still appears when you click on "Updates" - "Refresh" in the GUI.
At least on my installation.

you have to clear cache of the browser after applying the patch. i even had to reboot the node

Looks like @imcrazytwkr beat me to it (with a better solution) in #6084

[MickLesk]

It is merged, can you (the affected) check if it works? Don't forget cache clearing and restart.
