Question

Activate FMS4 AMI ( Amazon Machine Image )?

Greetings.

I just set up a new copy of the official Adobe Amazon Machine Image for FMS4.  It works great.  One show stopper: it seems to require a license key in fms.ini, just like any other FMS4 install.  The master log file has "invalid license key" in it. We tried giving it the "Activation key" -- no dice.  There's a license directory in /opt/adobe/fms with 3 .bin files.  We tried entering the path to that directory for the license key, but no dice.  The docs don't say anything about it.

So far today, I've spent over 3 hours being transferred around Adobe and listening to elevator music.  I still don't have an answer, and no one has stepped up to the plate and offered to get back to me.  At the moment, our testing process is on hold.  Would someone at Adobe please answer how we activate this product?  Barring that, could you please provide an Adobe support contact that has at least heard of the Amazon AMI product?

Thanks,

Paul

    Yeah, that's the idea. They told me to ignore the error about "invalid

    license." All billing is handled through Amazon.

    I wish they would offer a Flash media Streaming server which allow at least 1 (in words: 1) server side application ...
