It may also have something to do with the fact that Hero Lab downloads all the data for Pathfinder's various campaigns. All the additional licenses for things do is unlock and make the content available to you, the data is all there though. They probably don't want you just copying the data for licensed material you don't have the licenses for.
And Yes it is a pain to do things in the editor sometimes. I am nearly done converting the 3.5 Athas.org content for Dark Sun to pathfinder... This work has been very challenging for me, but I learned alot about the editor from doing it.
