The networking issues will be the more difficult issues. Basically the 
compiler resides on a license server. To access a license copy of 
the compiler, the user will either have to login with a account an 
password or use IP and/or MAC address. IP address works fine for 
a company as the server sits behind a firewall and the client 
workstations don't change IP addresses daily. MAC addresses work 
real fine as that changes only  when the ethernet card changes. 

In the case of doing this license server over the internet with IP 
addresses will be a nightmare since most ISPs change IP addresses 
at least weekly. Some daily. MAC addresses have problems for 
those that operate behind firewalls.
