Sounds to me more like a straight forward OOP design would suffice. 
Abstract license key base class defines virtual methods for all fetaures, or 
even just a couple of virtual methods such as EnableFeatures, 
DisableFeatures, GetAvailableFeatures, etc.  Create dervied classes that 
override the appropriate functions, and pass that into a generic method that 
will call the appropriate functions via polymorphism.
