If the licence is hostid based you might consider using change-sun-hostid.
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/he/henderso/change-sun-hostid.tar.gz

But, I'd be careful with the legal issues.
When I wrote it I intended it for short-term emergency use of hostid
locked software (e.g. when a server dies and the vendor isn't answering
their phones to give out new keys - weekends, etc.)
