Painful is getting a lot of use around here, and so far nothing I've  
seen described strikes me as painful.

Last time I redid the HP Openview licenses I did it online, using the  
HP's license tools, and it took me 5 minutes.  4 minutes of that was  
logging in and getting to know the tool.

I have significantly more frustration in morning traffic ;-)
