License data within processing

[tom heine]

we do system calls all the time.  if we have a 5 user system, we get
the 16 user filepro license.  its so much more productive for the end
user.   You can get around the locking issues by doing the system call
from entsel processing.  

more filepro licenses are cheap compared to paying employees
to navigate extra menus.
