What will you do if your bread-and-butter system can't get working around 08:00 because the vendor or the route to the vendor is down? Your users are waiting and phones are ringing and you [only one with know-how] are on leave today... >Of course only useful where a network path to the provider is permitted so >would be back to manual registration keys for those where it is not... If contacting the vendor is futile, then use a temp key valid for few days. That temp can be downloaded periodically replacing the old temp. Good questions, but messy to apply...
