Anyone else have a license issue?

I just got a "License expired or unpaid invoice" message as i was managing some customer escalation tickets.  I doubt anyone else seen this blip but i'm wondering if something happened with their licensing server

Do you no longer have access? I still have access to my portal. Did you get it resolved?

yeah it fixed after i hit the "check license again" link but that was the very first time that has ever happened in 14 months.  I was exactly at the time i went to add a configurable addon inside a hosting package.  As soon as i hit "add" it didn't add, list went blank, i refreshed and i was thrown to the "possible unpaid invoices" page.  I was on the laptop at the time and swung out of bed faster and to the home office faster then i've ever moved.

It appears good now though.  What's weird about it and i'm curious to know if it's possibly a bug.  I say this because i know 100% that Hostbill doesn't call home too often, i believe it's once every couple of days.  I can't remember exactly how often it is if at all.  Only time i've verified a callback was when the directory changed.  So for that to happen so randomly, absolutely has me concerned for a possible bug that may be exploitable.

Your first statement is likely the answer, the licensing server may have been down.

Then again, I think the licensing server is just a callback to the hostbillapp.com website, so the licensing server (hostbillapp.com) could have been experiencing heavy traffic at the time.
