And on top: ROK ISOs by hardware vendors by HPE (and probably lenovo) don’t have the trial time limit and can be run indefinitely without a license.
You only need to satisfy the requirement of running a supported motherboard during boot of the iso.
Well…Too bad that I can (unlike in ESXi) modify the manufacturer string in proxmox to say whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At work we sell servers by HPE.
We create Install-ISOs from the included install ISO.
At boot the Installer checks if the system is manufactured by the vendor.
If it is: It continues boot and offers you the installer options
If it is not: It will fail with a message that the manufacturer doesnt match.
On ESXi you need to pass the argument smbios.reflectHost = true (or something along those lines)
Dunno how HPE customized the install.wim
But you can probably get those for cheap on ebay and maybe compare the wims for differences.

Could you point me to more info about that?
