+### Compatibility for Old Proxmox VE Versions
+
+#### PVE 4.x
+
+PVE 4.x is supported with minor changes to the script.
+
+Changes needed:
+- License key needs to be changed from `pve8p` to `pve4p`
+
+#### PVE 3.x
+
+PVE 3.x is supported with minor changes to the script.
+
+Changes needed:
+- The script's hashbang need to be changed from `#!/usr/bin/env python3` to `#!/usr/bin/env python`
+- License key needs to be changed from `pve8p` to `pve4p`

+Installation with `dpkg -i` will not work. Use the following script to install manually:
+```shell
