Profiles or other?

[Chris Sheffield]

I had thought of that.  Only bad thing is that the controls are going to be
spread throughout the stack and on different cards.  I suppose I could do
that and place the group on the cards where I need any of those controls,
but then I would still have to handle hiding/showing individual controls,
which is kind of what I was hoping to avoid.

One way would be to group the controls according to license type, then 
you only have to hide/show one object.
