Sometimes? -- all the time. No vendor, that we use, has made keys
easy to use!
If keys were always received well before the old ones expired, and
all you had to do was enter them in a flat file, would that be a
big deal?

This is a more of a what if issue but I have seen it happen in the
real world.
I have seen a system "frozen" no updates allowed for *any* reason.
The license expires (my memory says it was a CA product but its
immaterial) what does one do?
