For those who are running the SPE virtual appliances, the license server is a requirement.  By simply installing the license server enabling license on any hardware capable of running the 7.0 software (SA2000, SA4000, SA6000, SA2500, SA4500, SA6500 — sorry, SA700 is not supported for this use case), a virtually unlimited number of licenses can be applied right on the license server.  Once the license are installed on the server, they can be easily moved around the various virtual appliances as needed.

Caveats:

• Once the license server is activated, is ceases to become an SSL VPN and will not accept any more client connections.  We simply had to do this to prevent anyone from taking a mission critical license server and trying to load  it up with any number of otherwise supported features or concurrent users.  It is simply more important that the license server remain available for managing licenses than processing client traffic. 

And now…I will just sit back and wait for all the questions to start rolling in.
