Question

Amazon AWS FMS - missing license key?

I have set up an Amazon AMI FMS instance which is working fine - but is behaving like a development edition.

When launching instances of my app from the Administration Console, I can only launch 5 or 6. After this, I see the instance name in the list, but in LiveLog there are no trace statements, and no log file is produced for that instance. It looks to me very much like I just ran out of NetConnections, as each instance needs to create proxy NetConnections to another app on the same server.

I ported this app straight from one of my own (Win98) FMS3.0 installations. I'm running the Administration Console remotely from the Win server.

I'm pretty used to the conf structure and files, and have checked several times. Maybe there's a new setting in 4.0, or maybe I'm just missing a license key...

    All working now. I needed to throw away my old Application.xml files and rebuild from the new 4.0 ones - so the issue was the port to FMS4.0, not the AWS AMI. There is an FMS log entry telling me that the license key is invalid, but this seems not to matter.

    Hi,

    Are you still getting missing license key error or were you able to resolve it.

    Thanks,

    Thank you!

    I managed to resolve it. My app was built on FMS3.0, and when I ran it on FMS4.0 only 3 instances would start up. So I rebuilt the Application.xml from the template in the FMS4.0 conf, setting the process scope to app, and distributing over instances. All working fine now.

    Still a great product.
