Urgent - Unable to build dialplan routing - invalid license

My entire phone system locked every extension today at mid-morning. When I restarted asterisk this is what I see in the logs:

Unable to build dialplan routing - invalid license

What is causing this and how is it fixed? What license does Asterisk require to operate?

Are you using Digium Phones? Or Add-ons such as codec licenses?

No. I was given a Digium phone at a course but it was never connected to our network. I have removed both the Digium addons and phone config modules and applied the changes. Our phone system is now back in operation. Are there any more bombs like this lying about?
