Half baked AMI

  • By MakingTheBestOfItAll

* Instance spun up reasonably quickly
* Service wasn't started by default, had to RDP in and start it
* License not loaded in AMI so you are limited to certain targets, which makes it useless.
* No information on how to get license

I'm not sure if the issue is that this has a free trial which is why it is shown as Express Edition only (no MySQL has target) but it is aggravating.

We'll be spinning down this instance momentarily

Hi! I have the same problem with licensing. Any information about how to fix it?
