Justin-
Do you really have three separate licenses, or do you just want to distribute
policy from three servers? If the latter, the host_licenses_paid is the
number of licenses, not the number of suppoorted clients (and so you don't
need to have a conditional control parameter :-) And if the former, then you
probably ought to have separate policy files.
