Conjectures:
Simply overwriting the trial license with the production license may have caused the problem. Deleting it entirely then loading a new file seems to have resolved the problem.
Additional info regarding Cute support:
When I purchased the license I noted that some of the domain names I provided had the leading http:// and some were simply www.~~~. I wrote
[email protected] and asked whether this was an issue but never received a response.
