Actually, I was thinking I could use the same product code, upgrade code, and component ids for each customized license file installer. I don't think this will be a problem. Am I missing something?

Sure. Two things to think about:
- You'll want the license generator to generate and keep track of GUIDs
for product code (at least). Otherwise you're "flying blind."
- You should investigate the new heat harvester technology. It should be
a pretty easy job to take advantage of heat's templates.
