Wouldn't there be some commandline utility from the FLEXnet package that you 
can use, e.g. to query the number of currently in-use licenses ? As long as it
contacts the network daemon it can be used to check that the daemon is 
running, and then you can probably make a custom test wrapper around the
command line tool, and generate the Hobbit status based on this.
