I am trying to get ES up and runing under the developer SDK license, we have two projects that I think are a great fit for ES. The error I get (via email from the ES server) when trying to connect is below. The hostname listed in the account section matches the name in my EnterpriseDataSourceItem so I am not sure what is next. Can you see if there is a licensing problem? I downloaded the license file twice and installed it. Status.ASPX works and shows the client connected. One odd thing is the status page shows the server hostname as "Unknown", maybe that is the problem but I sure dont know how to fix. Thoughts appreciated.

Yep, it should show you the hostname. I just looked at the code and it is just pulling the hostname directly from the license file, so the problem looks to be with accessing that file.  Either it can't find it, can't access it, or doesn't recognize it.

A couple thoughts: You'll need the most recent license base for it to interpret that license file correctly, and you'll need the most recent ESSiteContents for everything to be plumbed correctly. Have you gotten the latest beta build from here and the site contents (they  were updated in June) from here?

Past that, my guess would be that it just flat out can't find or access the license file, so I'd check your file permissions on that file to ensure that the IIS user has access to it.
