I would vote yes to that very enthusiastically.

SGI sort of has this, in that the FlexLM runtime is a default part of the IRIX operating system. Makes licensing software (both for vendors and customers) very simple, but the downside is that you, the software vendor, have to do business with Globetrotter. That's not inherently a bad thing, but it's a pain in the rear, particularly if you're a hobbyist like me. It also kind of puts a lower bound on the price you can charge for software licenses, which I prefer not to do.

If Apple included a reasonably secure and tamper-proof software licensing framework as part of the OS, I'd be very pleased.

in general (due to high traffic in this thread):

Is implementing a standard Licensing Server Kit a feature that Apple
should supply?

How else are you supposed to nodelock software?

I suppose you could use a hardware dongle?
