This is now built into HL actually. It was a change Colen did to support the community but the side effect is that HL tells you exactly which "Licenses" books you need to run a .por file.

When you open a .por you don't have a license for it says at the very bottom of the "errors encountered window":

This is just a quick example I did but if you needed other books it would show them.
