My understanding it's it's not "weak", it's just a classic case of one-hack-fits-all like you say. The keyed authentication is as good as it gets for a license scheme. The only problem is that it generates long (250ish) character keys and some "less knowledgeable" users, shall we say, don't know that Copy & Paste exists, so they complain.
