Bentley Hosted Licensing/Remote Licensing for Pre-XM Applications?

Greetings-

I know that with the advent of the XM products licensing took a big jump forward.  It also allowed Bentley to host the licenses for those clients who choose to do so. 

My question: what is the best way to host licenses for pre-XM applications?  We have a poject we thought was going to be XM and instead we are being asked to use V8.  We had planned on having Bentley host our licensing, since we have several remote users.  Since we are having to use V8, that may not work.  I'd still like to transition to Bentley hosted licensing; can I use a license file for those apps that would point an an IP address on Bentley's server?  Or do I have other options?  I want to avoid checking out lcienses long-term to users, especially since I doubt we have enough licenses to do it. 

Thanks for any suggestions! 

Jeff
