License Activation Center LAC includes a command line utility, lacutil, that lets you activate and save a license to a file.

The only argument that is required for lacutil is the activation key. The HostID of the current machine will be used automatically, if the HostID is required. There is also an option to print out HostIDs of the machine and eventually specify them manually, which can let you activate a license locked to a different machine than the current one.
