in reply to grabbing .lic files
Why not just rcp the lic files over. You could also consider logging on to the machine remotely and run the license utility that way.
Example if your running NetBackup (Which I think is where the elm/*.lic files come from). $lics = `rsh $machine "/usr../admincmd/bpminlicense"`
