HI Ive been a user to Virtualmin + Webmin running in our datacenter on VMWare, Now Ive got a client who wants to move there customer hosting to run on Webmin+ Virtualmin + Cloudmin. As they have a hosting re-seller account but they now have over 200 web sites so I informed them about virtualmin stack.
So this is the account they paid for virtualmin and I got them to get Cloudmin now I have no issue setting up webmin + virtualmin on AWS ec2 but we want to use Cloudmin so I did a install but I could not follow the docs as It was telling me to add the ec2 setting but there is no menu where I can add in my AWS key and secret.
Im experienced at using and setting up Virtualmin or any thing related to AWS, But according to the docs for Cloudmin I need to add my AWS key + secret by going to Cloudmin settings menu then clicking on EC2 account but there is no EC2 Account menu.
This is the link on your Site.
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/vm/ec2-account
So please any help would be good or if some one know of a issue that causes the Ec2 account menu not showing up please point me in the right direction

Howdy -- hmm, is it possible that while they own a Cloudmin license, they have Cloudmin GPL installed?
That can be determined with this command:
dpkg -l 'webmin-server-manager'Submitted by riad135 on Mon, 11/07/2016 - 09:21 Comment #2

Ah, it looks like that may be Cloudmin for Physical Systems there (what we now call Cloudmin Connect).
Just to verify -- what is the serial number for that particular license that's installed there?

I was just looking into that as I saw real I though it might be for real systems not virtual.
So the client already bought virtual pro so I then when to get cloudmin and I picked the $4 one as it said that what to use with virtualmin pro licenses. So if I got the wrong one which one do I need to get.

OK My fault I just read " Best for anyone with multiple Virtualmin systems, and no need for virtualization management" So I got the wrong one.
Can I change to the other one and just paid the difference. ?

That's no problem at all -- though unfortunately our billing system isn't flexible enough to do things like what you suggested.
What I did though is cancel your order, and refund your payment. It may take a couple of days to show up on your credit card statement, but it's on it's way!
Feel free to purchase the license you want at any time, such as a Cloudmin 10.

so which one to I get so we paid for a month for virutalmin pro but just so I get this right I can get cloudmin + virtualmin pro all in one.
We need around 200 virtual hosts (domains) but only around 4 server's.

There isn't a version of Cloudmin that comes with Virtualmin that will do what you're after, unfortunately.
A Virtualmin Unlimited license comes with Cloudmin Connect -- but that's what you had previously, and isn't designed to work with EC2 and other Cloud providers.
If you want both Virtualmin Pro, and a Cloudmin license that can interact with EC2 -- you would need a Virtualmin license for each server you have there, along with a Cloudmin N license (where N is the number of Virtual Machines it would be managing).
Note that you wouldn't necessarily need Virtualmin Pro on all 4 of your servers, you could install Virtualmin GPL on some of them if they don't all require Virtualmin Pro's features.
Cloudmin can interact with both Virtualmin Pro and GPL, it doesn't matter which you have setup.
