New license management system.

With today's license system you have two licenses out of the box and if you need more (eg because you replaced your PC, or reinstaled your windows, our did a bigger upgrade...) you need to ask for it to ableton, including write a justification and WAIT for a response (we all already had problems near the end of a deadline, our in that "day that we feel inspired and have lots of time", no?).
It would be better if they had a management system of our licenses associated to our online account, there we could have 2-3 licenses and the respective PCs, there we could remove old PC (or their identifications) then authorize new PC. This system is used by others like XLN Audio*.
This way we would be able to have a fast, problem free and intuitive way of have our licenses properly installed and have full freedom of PCs use (no more than 2-3 at a time). They may even have less work/expenses managing our accounts/licenses too.
Better even would be a Reaper like copy protection system
but I doubt it will happen...
