No!  I do not!

Example:  User has VMS running, legally, on a system. User decides to install 
VMS on another disk, on that same system, issues the licenses using the license 
issue capability in VMS, and then installs the licenses on the new VMS disk, and 
then runs off that disk.

It is just moving the licenses from one system disk to another on THE SAME SYSTEM!
