-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
It's just a temporary RSA key that I created for development. The
passphrase is "hello".
The ASP page loads the key from a file and sends it to the COM object.
When the error occurred, I tried outputting the keyString back to the
ASP in the *licence variable, and the ASP did receive a correct looking
string.
