We used to just push the PC that ran the software into a corner.  That was 
back when PCs were expensive, but by the time the project was wrapping up, 
the system was close to obsolete.  The real cost was storage space and 
keeping track of it.  With a small group, a note taped to the top was 
probably good enough.

One of the complications is software licensing.  Back in the days of physical 
dongles it was easy to keep the dongle with a PC.  It gets much more 
complicated with network licensing servers.
