The error message suggests to me that the API key you're trying is wrong. Double check that it is 12 characters (error message: "...requires a string of length 12")

Hi Shone, Jeremy,

I know this thread is 5 months old, but I hope it helps...

I enconter the same problem when I introduced the Amazon Activation Key generated at http://aws-portal.amazon.com. I thought that's the key 'tklbam-init' requires, but like Jeremy said it's too long:

 

 

SOLUTION: I found the valid key (17 characters long) inside my hub account, below "User Profile"

(Why I first choose the key provided by Amazon than the one provided by my hub account, I don't know... may be I don't read instruccions carefully.)

Best regards.
