Here's a few other tid-bits of clarification:
Q: If the user has set his machine up to use the License Server, can't the plugin license keys just come from the local machine?
A: Nope - not as currently implemented, at least. They ALL come from the server.
Q: So could the user just 'register' a single-seat license with the License Server and have the server combine that dynamically with a seat from one of the "serial packages"?
A: Nope - the License Server doesn't do any "serial package combining" - it can serve 'less' than a full list of licenses to some machine (if the user only has "XL" installed and there are no "XL" package seats left, they might end up getting a partial "Studio" package), but the License Server can't/doesn't pull in licenses from other serial packages to combine into a larger package.
Q: So, that means that each license key for my plugin is directly tied to exactly one "serial package" - right?
A: Yup. And therefore, the "seat count" that you sell them should match the seat count of that package. And those last 5 digits of the 11-digit serial string tacked on the front of your license key must match the same 5 digits of that serial package.
