There are resource limits to the number of Amazon EC2 instances that be run concurrently -- in total and per instance type.

The easiest way to view these limits and to request an increase is via the Limits option in the Amazon EC2 management console:

Amazon EC2 limits console

The first line shows the limit related to Total number of On-Demand EC2 Instances.
