The Open Group is a worldwide, member driven, "standards" group. It
was formed a few years ago from a combination of The Open Software
Foundation and X/Open. Their management working group is addressing
this among other software management issues. See (I think)
http://www.opengroup.org/
I am pretty sure the most widely used commercial product is FLEXlm.

While nothing is perfect, this beats the heck out of the dongle
based piece of junk TS users put up with.

FLEXlm, the leading license management solution for UNIX and
Windows/Windows NT environments, is bundled in more than $15 billion
of installed software. FLEXlm offers both software providers and
end-user organizations control and management over the number of
concurrent users of software applications on distributed computer
networks. This ensures vendors receive revenues appropriate with the
use of their products, while at the same time providing organizations
with a platform to manage the use and cost of applications.
The usual disclaimers, no relation, no this, no that.
