This is my absolute least favorite part of AE.

I love that the SDK is free and developers can download, hack away, and
release their plugins without an SDK purchase or licensing fees, but I
absolutely hate that AE plugins are all licensed to end users differently,
usually without any thought given to render farm management and enterprise
deployment.

Does this bother anyone else? Are there any plans for Adobe to at least
suggest or perhaps provide a best practice when it comes to
activating/licensing 3rd party plugins for farms and large deployments?
