Software licensing using IPv6 addresses?

Hi,

I remember that some software licenses used to be enforced by relying
on the user's static IPv4 address. Obviously this is a broken technique,
but has anybody seen it used with IPv6 addresses?

(At the moment this is an open question in draft-carpenter-6renum-static-problem-00.)
