Your command of technical trends is as bad as your command of English.  Most
serious Unix Workstation vendors have announced such products.  HP/Apollo
has NLS (Network License Server) Sun has SunNet License.  There are a variety
of third party vendors selling Licensing solutions (Elan, et.al.).  DEC
just got to market a few months earlier by offering a limited product.  What
you ought to be doing is beating up DEC for offering a non-networking,
non-standard product.
