Not too painful, simply designate a single (visibly to all cluster 
compute nodes) resource to be your license server.  If needed, you can 
multihome this system, or set up NAT on the head nodes to allow the 
compute nodes in all systems to see it.

I have set up a few of these for customers before, it is usually not 
difficult, even with integration with a scheduler.
