I get the licenses as files or as e-mail, and I just put them via
command line redirection into lmf. No typing in, no problem...
(except the base license, of course)
I currently have 17 licenses registered, and I think this took 2 or three minutes,
not more.

I'm running it on a 433MHz alpha. It is significantly _SLOWER_ than on a 266Mhz alpha
(using exactly the same executable, linked noshared).
Of course it might be because the 266MHz has 2MByte cache, the 433MHz only 1MByte.
They did not sell it with more cache...
