Error: It seems you don't have the necessary permissions to create a machine.

I tried creating a self-hosted system using AWS but when I try to finish I get the error that says "It seems you don't have the necessary permissions to create a machine." I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

Are you using an IAM access key and secret? If so, it probably doesn't have the right policies set (usually it needs EC2 and VPC full control.)

I tried giving it the VPC permission as it didn't have it before. It still did not work. Any other ideas?

This is a 2 year old video now though, so you should best try from scratch using our guide:

The installation from AWS Marketplace creates an EC2 instance. Is Lightsail install no longer supported?

there's no more automatic install process from 3CX but you can always install manually on lightsail following a specific guide given to partners from CEO Nick Galea
