better license management?

Hi,
We have been getting alot of duplicate licenses being checked out by the same machine issue for awhile now and its always different machines and its always different type of licenses.
We have over 60 licenses and our workflow currently is going to the octane license page and copy paste the license text (and what machine is using it) to a text file for it to be parsed by a script that then tells us how many license are being used by the same machine.
Is there a way for us to get this list of licenses thats on the website as an APi or something? and maybe on top of that have the ability to release/unlock licenses this way as well?
I know octane is very protective and secretive and dont want their licenses exposed to be kept on site like flexlm (or rlm) but surely there is a better way of having "floating" licenses?
We have about 70 machines, 20 of them use octane during the day and another 20 of them during the night only; and these machines arent static either; they are constantly changing and are a combination of user workstation and farm machines.
anyway, is there a way to access the license page as an api of some sort?
if not, it seems that since the website is web-based, we can re-engineer it with python's selenium, right?
