It looks like the FPGA Developer AMI includes Vivado and a license explicitly for use on these platforms (look at the PuTTY screenshot in the blog post; it has a customized MOTD). You just need to set up the license server that Vivado will use and point it to the right license.

So I guess the real question is: what exactly is granted by the Vivado license on these AMIs? Do we get things like SDSoC, SDAccel, etc, and all the libraries? [1] The blog seems to imply you can program these things with OpenCL too (AKA SDAccel), so I'm guessing that these features are all enabled, but details about the included Vivado license in the AMI would be nice.
