There was some talk a while ago about making open-source licensing code, ala flexlm. <snip>

I've worked with flexlm & actually had to port the source. It turns out that the license server needs to be node-locked. I think that all licensing models (except maybe the MicroSoft "everyone contacts the MS big-brother server" model) require node-locking at some level. Flexlm locks the server to a node, which doles out licenses as necessary. Bill
