I had a similar problem, turned out that bash and tcsh had some sort of problem 
with the \n characters
ksh however worked nicely


HTH,

I'm not exactly sure what your problem is. It's possible that the \n
characters are the problem as Itzik suggested. When I do a multi-line
nsradmin command on Unix I do it as follows:

echo "
.      type: NSR license;
        name: NetWo..........
update auth code:ec...
" | nsradmin -s abc -i -

This way the carriage returns are there and visible, and the whole thing
is easier to read too. I haven't worked out yet how to do a multi-line
nsradmin command on NT, thankfully I haven't had to do it yet, I tend to
administrate NT servers from a Unix machine which I find far easier. I
would be stuck if I didn't have a Unix machine around.

It's possible that your problem is some of the special characters in the
enabler name. You might need to escape some of them with a \.

I don't recall why it is that you needed to do this from a command line
rather than the GUI. Another option might be to use nsradmin in visual
mode.
