This is exactly the reason we decided that our software would always be sent
with the keys for that particular site embedded into the software, there are no
separate steps necessary to install the keys. It actually provides us with
another advantage in that when it's time to update the software (or just the
keys) we ship them their new software with the new keys with all current
maintenance already applied. That way we don't end up with trying to support
10 (or 20) years of different versions of the products. It's more work for us
on the one end, but a lot less to maintain overall.
This is exactly what we do. No actions required by the customer.
A couple of key considerations:
1. What action does a product take when the keys "don't fit"? Does it
shut down? Does it issue license violation messages?
2. If a product shuts down when the license expires or the machine
doesn't match the keys, do the effects reach beyond the product in
question? Does a shutdown of the product stop the customer from
performing production functions?
It's worthwhile for customers of any product to know the answers to
these questions.
