After spending two days reading almost all forum posts related to this error message, including translating questions from Chinese to Spanish, I finally found the cause of this error message:
Error message

If you want to setup a trial Splunk Enterprise distributed deployment consisting of multiple Splunk Enterprise instances communicating with each other, each instance must use its own self-generated Enterprise Trial license. This differs from a distributed deployment running a Splunk Enterprise license, where you will configure a license master to host all licenses."

That’s true. You cannot use trial license in distributed LM, but you can use it on all nodes when you are doing distributed test setup.
