I'm not sure how the license IP check works, but will Amazon's Elastic IP address for EC2 be sufficient?
Or will there be a license server for 2X as well one day?
P.S. Has anyone here tried running the server in a EC2 micro yet?

The License Server will not be local, but online using an highly available service. This will allow any customer to manage their license(s) with a simple web-based interface and eliminate the IP-based licensing model.
this is very good to hear!

Micro was introduced this sept.
http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-n ... mazon-ec2/
Basically, its a slow (and cheap) 613MB instance that doesn't have local instance storage. It uses EBS for sda1 which may incur performance issues if SFS2X uses /tmp a lot. I/O is still a lot faster than my old 256MB rackspace cloud server though.
So far, I can't complain but then again, I don't have any users or much load on it.

Just an update: the license file does not see/check against the Elastic IP.

Interesting. I've read about it but didn't have time to check the details. 600Mb+ should be more than enough to get started, not bad at all.
As regards the /tmp folder, SFS2X uses it very rarely.
Let us know how it goes when you get some traffic.
License Server Availability
Hi Lapo,
Is there an ETA on the availability of the License Server for Smartfox 2X Server.
Thanks!

would like to know if license server is out
Hi,
I saw Lapo's post regarding launch of license server in Q1 2011 in order to deploy sfs in EC2 cloud.
I would like to know if its up for SFS2X.
thanks.
