Adam,
Yes. I was missing the fact that the License file is only checked on IIS start-up. ( I warned you that I don't do much web stuff.)
So the only way to know that you have valid domain license file is to restart IIS. Then if your license file is not valid your CuteSoft site is down and there is no way to get it up. Also restarting IIS disconnects any one accessing any web site or web service on your system which may not be a good thing.
This suggests that our domain license is not valid or correct and I shoud check it by restarting IIS. If it fails I have the temporary license at this time.
It would be nice to have a utility to validate the license file.
Thanks.......***
