Hi,
The last time I tried connecting a floating license from one of the FME license servers from an Amazon EC2 instance, I couldn't connect.
Any idea that leads to connecting a floating license from EC2 will be much appreciated. Thanks.

The general floating license troubleshooting instructions are probably the best place to start. If they don't provide a solution it's probably best to get support (through your VAR or Safe directly) involved.

If the license server is on an EC2 instance, you have to make sure that both the firewall on the EC2 instance AND the security group for the EC2 instance have the ports open for both LMGRD (27000-27009) and the SAFE vendor daemon (a random port each time it starts). I'd recommend setting the SAFE daemon to use a specific port (27010), and then you can just open ports 27000-27010 in the firewall and the EC2 security group.

The license server is not on an EC2 instance but on physical machines in 2 different locations.
