Issue I am having is trying to clone stopped instance, failing complaining about needing Professional or better license, have Advanced Edition lifetime license. So I was trying to clone an Ark Ascended (7 server) Cluster so I didnt have to painstakingly enter in the same config and .ini settings 7 times in a row. Im looking at the breakdown for Advanced Edition License it says “All features from Professional Edition” so I would assume that would include instance cloning.
Amp machine is Windows 11 Pro OS build 26100.2605 (telling me its fully up to date) and AMP and all instances are version 2.7.2.0 (up to date)
Reproduction Steps
ADS module config > Instance deployment > Default Deployment > Reactivate all Local Instances with Advanced Edition license key
Also advanced user - getting failed attempts to clone an instance.. requires Profession edition despite contents of advanced user should include professional features,
50 App Instances
In-game Analytics and Geo-filtering † Custom Branding
and OIDC SSO
Instance Deployment Templates
Priority Support Access
All features from Professional Edition
Actually it does say Professional or better license, Advanced is a better license so my assumption is its a bug with the licensing system of the Deimos branch. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Resulted in taking 6+ hours to setup Ark Cluster of 8 servers where each one had to manually change 50 settings to be identical when I could have just finished one, cloned it and changed map setting, server name and been done in minutes.
I was able to fix it on my system. I noticed that reactivateall did not reactivate the asd. I ran “ampinstmgr reactivate”, it asked me for my instance, and I gave it ads01 and then my key. I did this for each of my servers, and now clone works.
BlackLamb you rock. Not only did that work, just like you said I had ran ampinstmgr reactivate all W/ license and that failed to activate the ADS01 module properly. Did what you suggested, reactivated just ADS01 by itself with license and the Cloning function DOES indeed now function.
Not only that but now the Branding heading in ADS01 config is present now when it was previously missing. Hopefully Cubecoders figures out why the license with ADS01 module was not properly activate fully on multiple installs and requires this additional command and why reactivate all doesn’t accomplish that.
