I'm trying out the Express license on a Amazon EC2 instance.
Everything thing works as expected *until *  I stop and  restart the instance.  
 In Amazon EC2 this allocates a new hostname beyond my control.
When ML starts it complains the license is not valid for this Host (reasonable).

I tried several things to get this to work.


1)      Use the linux "hostname" command and  /etc/services/network   settings 
to set the hostname to a static hostname

2)      Edited the hostname within the ML admin console

Still no go.   I can get the instance working again by requesting a new license 
but I think that's not a great solution.
If I know how ML  decides what the "hostname" is I could probably work this out.

My next attempt will be to assign a static IP (Amazon "Elastic IP") to the 
instance which depending on how ML decides what the hostname is might work ...
But I don't want to risk looking like a hacker by requesting lots of licenses 
trying to reverse engineer a solution.

Any suggestions ?
