My boss wants a quick, simple to integrate, simple to host software licensing server to enforce license activations and expirations. We have to integrate it with a C++ Windows Service application.

I would not like to host the service in our office for the same reason we don't host our own website in our office. The service must be host-able in "the cloud" or at a normal web hosting company (for instance, a SOAP service that runs over HTTPS).

We would like a simple royalty-free solution. Any suggestions other than building our own?

I'll dig up this thread too. I'm currently looking at http://wyday.com/limelm/ which is a paid service but seems a lot cheaper than most.
