Everyone does it differently. Frame has an RPC listener running on the license server; when clients want to get a license they talk RPC with it. I'm told that Frame actually figures out which host you have the binary mounted from, and takes it as the license server. I believe Sun's RPC code is freely available -- uunet probably has it.
