-Disables the "No valid subscription" dialog on all Proxmox products.

+I am really poor and I really can't afford a license. I just want to get rid of the annoying dialog on every login.
 
 ## Features
 
-Works for:
-- Proxmox VE (5.x or later, tested up to 7.0)
-- Proxmox Mail Gateway (5.x or later)
-- Proxmox Backup Server (1.x)
-
-Highlights:
-- Non-intrusive: zero modification of any system file
-- Future-proof: persists between system updates & major upgrades
-- Hassle-free: you can uninstall at any time
-- Comes with standard Debian package, easy to manage and automate
-- **No JavaScript is involved** in the whole process, as I believe JavaScript is harmful to developers
+* Works for any version >=5 (we've tested this from 5.3 to 6.0 without any changes in the code)
+* Non-intrusive, no changes to any system file, persists between system updates
+* Comes with standard Debian package, easy to manage and automate
+* You can uninstall at any time (you might need to wait a week for the cache to be invalidated because of https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/1472 )
 
 ## Installation
 
-1. [Download the latest release](https://github.com/Jamesits/pve-fake-subscription/releases/latest)
-1. Install: run `dpkg -i pve-fake-subscription_*.deb` as root on every node
-1. (Optional) `echo "127.0.0.1 shop.maurer-it.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts` to prevent fake keys from being checked against the Proxmox servers
-
-Notes:
-
-The initial run will be scheduled within 1 minute of the installation. If you don't want to wait, you can invoke it immediately by executing `pve-fake-subscription`.
-
-After installation, please refrain yourself from clicking the "check" button on the "Subscription" page. It will invalidate the cache and temporary revert your instance into an unlicensed status. 
-
-The fake subscription status doesn't grant you free access to the enterprise repository. You should switch to the no-subscription repository if not already done. Use the following method:
-- [Proxmox VE (PVE)](https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories#sysadmin_no_subscription_repo)
-- [Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG)](https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmg_package_repositories)
-- [Proxmox Backup Server (PBS)](https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#proxmox-backup-no-subscription-repository)
+* Go to [release](https://github.com/Jamesits/pve-fake-subscription/releases/latest) to download the latest release
+* Run `dpkg -i pve-fake-subscription_*.deb` as root on every Proxmox VE node
 
 ## Uninstallation
 
-Run as root:
+Run everything as root:
 
 ```shell
 apt purge pve-fake-subscription
+rm /etc/subscription
 ```
 
-This will revert your system to a "no subscription key" status.
