No, sorry Gary
The core events calendar is just too competitive now. Yours is still the best one, but DNN is after all an open source project and has a few volunteer projects that are still excellent, including that one. I rely on your calendar having more consistent development over time and that's why I want to keep it. I think Active Social qualifies as a module that is unique enough to warrant special consideration, but even then I'd never tie it to a single domain.
I've completely rid my server of domain-licensed modules. They were mainly from interactivewebs, who have been completely useless in managing their activation service, and I won't be buying any again. Although so long as there's an affordable per-instance or per-server license then I'm not fussed if there is a domain license for everyone else.
I've had the activation discussion with several developers and although I prefer Onyak's and DNNStuff's models, with a generous license and no activation, I am also ok with Mandeeps and digNuke's licenses as they offer reasonable value at the higher levels... and they both leave my system portable. I've moved servers enough times in the past to know that it's a serious mistake to tie an activation to an ip or a domain. It should be done within the application using a key file or something.
As a site builder I also have to be extremely wary of running portals with multiple activations. The situation with DNN is bad already and it's only getting worse. Each developer might think that only their module is all that matters, but I have over 300 modules and if even only half of them had to run through different license servers, I'd give up on DNN altogether and go with the PHP crowd. It might be fine for us to rely on mega-corporations like Microsoft or Adobe to manage license activations for a decade and longer, but in the DNN world, developers come and go all the time and the risk to business is too great.
I'm currently planning on keeping my server where it is for the foreseeable future, but I dread the day when every module has yet another activation and I have to manage a server shift. I can already predict it's going to be a massive drama when it happens.
On top of that risk there is also the failure of the activation methods altogether. Active Modules dropped my forum offline for about a month when they started doing it. Then I spent a full week offline when I moved to my new dedicated web server... it turned out to be Baze Software's activation that brought it down. That's a huge problem for me, yet the developers just walk away and shrug their shoulders.
I've got plenty of stories.... I should start a blog on it
In any case.. my advice and request is: Don't let software pirates, who wouldn't buy the modules anyway, spoil the experience for those of us who do buy them.
Hope there's something helpful in there
