Hi, I have this future method that errors out for having too many callouts frequently. I'd like to wrap my head around the batch apex concepts and add it to my toolbox so this project seems as good as any. Can someone help me with converting this methods to one that works by batches. Even just a high level walk through would be very helpful.

    @future (callout = true)
    public static void postToLCS(Map<Id, String> licenseXmlMap) {

        Boolean postToProd = false;

        Map<String, Environment_Variables__c> envVarMap = Environment_Variables__c.getall();
        Map<Id, String> succLicRespMap = new Map<Id, String>();
        Map<Id, String> failLicRespMap = new Map<Id, String>();

        License__c[] licRecs = [SELECT Id, Last_Post_Date__c,
                                       Last_Post_Response__c
                                FROM   License__c
                                WHERE  Id IN: licenseXmlMap.keySet()];


        // LL - Get environment variables related to license posting
        if (envVarMap.get('use_prod_lcs').Value__c == 'true') { // LL - Check whether to post in DEV or PROD LCS
            // LL - Set PROD LCS endpoint and credentials
            lcsEndpoint = envVarMap.get('prod_lcs_endpoint').Value__c;
            lcsUname = envVarMap.get('prod_lcs_uname').Value__c;
            lcsPwd = envVarMap.get('prod_lcs_pwd').Value__c;
        } else {
