 ## Installation
 
-1. [Download the latest release](https://github.com/Jamesits/pve-fake-subscription/releases/latest)
+* Go to [release](https://github.com/Jamesits/pve-fake-subscription/releases/latest) to download the latest release
-1. Install: run `dpkg -i pve-fake-subscription_*.deb` as root on every node
+* Run `dpkg -i pve-fake-subscription_*.deb` as root on every Proxmox VE 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)
