T2OLE will convert a Python ascii string to a wide string - that should be
fine.

I have many moons ago.  I believe you pass the license string in a standard
"GUID" format - eg, "{5F584028-15BF-4dcf-AEB2-5FDC9B0C0AA5}" (which is just
one guidgen just gave me).  Does your license string make itself available
in that format?  I may well be wrong though...
