I realize this is heresy, but I like the way CA does it. Parts of it, anyway. We get warnings before a key expires. Once we get a new key, we add it to our options file in Common Services (formerly CA-90's, etc.) and rerun CAS9 -- no pain, no downtime.
I have no problem with vendor implementing a license key strategy as long as it is done properly.
