I based my autoscaling AMI's on the Turnkey Linux nginx AMI from the marketplace.

I am now unable to select any of the newer generation instance types; for instance, my autoscaling uses m3.large type but I'd really like it to use the c3.xlarge type but every time I try to create a c3.xlarge instance with my AMI I get errors;

The instance configuration for this AWS Marketplace product is not supported.

My question is; Can I override this? I'm not using TKL support or any of their services, just the AMI.

If I can't override it, do I have any other options besides creating a brand new AMI from scratch to use?
