Should I reset the options by putting the code for the trial options for the DS2102 back in and redo it?
You can't uninstall options by installing other options instead. You need to use the SCPI command :SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall command to uninstall keys. This has already been mentioned several times in this topic.
If you're not familiar with SCPI commands, read your scope's user's manual + programming guide, both documents has info about SCPI commands.
You can search this topic for :SYSTem:OPTion:UNINSTall for more info.

AndersAnd Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I performed the following proceedure to reset it:
To erase options:
In Ultra Sigma:
Right click on the Scope USB Line
Select SCPI Control Panel
Paste: SYSTEM:OPTION:UNINSTALL over the *IDN?
Send the command
It erased the options
The scope was back to the trial version even remembering the original number of minutes I had left.
I reapplied the code I used before and all the options vanished with the exception that the scope was now a DS2202 instead of a DS2102.
(Windows even reinstalled the scope as a DS2202)
I should have checked that the S/N was reset to DS2A0000000001
I reran the KeyGen using the mangled serial number and now it seems to work fine with all options with the exception of the loss of the serial number
The minimum timebase flipped from 5ns to 2ns
I appreciate your help, S.
