Amazon S3 Account & Keys - Find, Update or Check your Access Key and Secret Key

To use eZs3, you need to connect it to a LIVE account at AWS Amazon S3 - We can't be sure which issue you are having right now - but we cover them all in these guides!

Here are the 6 Amazon issues we see when people are having issues with connecting their AWS AMazon accounts to eZs3

1. Not got an Amazon S3 account?

You need your own Amazon S3 account to use eZs3 - we provide the players but your media is stored at Amazon S3 - we do not act as third party hosts so you get the cheapest solution

If you don't yet have an Amazon S3 account - here is the guide to signing up - How To Create An AWS AmazonS3 Acount

2. Find your Amazon S3 keys in your Amazon S3 account

Amazon S3 provide 2 'keys' called your access key and secret key - these are so that you can connect to a third party such as us

Once you have signed up for Amazon S3 - you need to locate your Amazon S3 keys - so that you can link to your eZs3 account

3. Check your keys are active using the eZs3 key checker

It can take up to 24 hours for Amazon S3 to do a 'ghost charge' on your credit card account and make your account live - in this time your S3 keys will not be active

You can check if your Amazon S3 keys have become active by entering them into the eZs3 key checker - //www.ezs3.com/public/Are_my_Amazon_S3_Keys_Active.cfm

4. Your Amazon S3 account is not live? Or your keys are not active?

Have you signed up for Amazon S3, but when you try and use your keys, they're not active? It might be because your Amazon S3 account isn't live - follow this tutorial to see if your account is live - www.ezs3.com/public/345.cfm

5. Link your Amazon S3 keys with your eZs3 account

So now you have signed up to Amazon S3, your account is live and so are your keys - but you need to join the two up together the first time you log in
