Instance launch failed

Question

I'm trying to launch an instance, but it's failing with the message "This account is currently blocked and not recognized as a valid account. Please contact aws-verification@amazon.com if you have questions." I'm not sure what's going on, because I've never had any problems with this account before. Can you help me fix this?

Answer

It may be you're launching in a region you haven't launched in before - apparently new accounts may be restricted to 3 regions and you can get this error if you try to use a 4th.

Either way, please contact them on that email address as suggested or use AWS Support from your console (or https://support.aws.amazon.com/#/contacts/aws-account-support/) - even with Basic support you can raise an Account case like this.
