   If I never see another license server in my entire life it will be too damn soon. It's like finding a live coelacanth in your toilet, except you also find out that they're toothy and venomous and you make these discoveries when it clamps ten million needle teeth through both of your buttocks

     @gnomon The Matlab company recently decided to change away from site licenses with a license server to a model where people had to individually authenticate even if you had some sort of site license. This was our sad expression about the change (which was helped by it being officially decided that Matlab was no longer our problem in general as fallout from this).

     Those license servers were Fun™, especially since we wanted two for redundancy and the licensing stuff (mostly) did not.
