To activate or update a subscription key offline, either use ``proxmox-offline-mirror-helper
offline-key`` directly or follow the respective step when doing the guided setup via the
``proxmox-offline-mirror-helper setup`` command.
+
+The ``offline-key`` command supports both local mountpoints and HTTP URLs. When using an HTTP
+server (as described in the `Local HTTP Server`_ section), you can activate subscription keys
+directly from the HTTP URL without needing to mount the medium locally:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ proxmox-offline-mirror-helper offline-key --source http://proxmox-offline-mirror.domain.example/
+
+This is particularly useful when the mirror is served over HTTP and you only need to activate
+subscription keys. Other operations like the ``status`` command and repository configuration
+still require a local mountpoint.
