Answer:

If the string argument passed to UnlockComponent is NOT a permanent unlock code, then the LastErrorText will contain the exact string passed to it by your application.  In this case, it is easy to see that the string “Anything for 30-day trial” was passed to UnlockComponent.  To resolve the problem, check carefully the exact string being passed to UnlockComponent.  Make sure the permanent unlock code is passed to it.
