I think in my case I can just set up a queue with a number of instances equal 
to the number of licenses I have.  I'm not so much worried about maximum 
efficiency as avoiding having jobs fail because of license oversubscription.

Dealing with host-based licensing is a feature Qube advertises - it comes up 
reasonably often with vfx software.

Another feature which I couldn't figure out how to achieve is per-host 
dependencies (particularly in array dependencies) - if one task is going to 
generate a load of data for another task to consume then I could write it all 
to the local tmp drive if I know the dependent task will run on the same host 
rather than pushing it across the network.  Instead I just wrap those tasks up 
into a single task submission which is fine for single dependencies but it 
would be nice to have something more flexible.
