Well, that message says it's missing a matching double quote (").  The code in 
your original post was missing a single quote (') at the end.

Here's the code from your message:

echo "show name; enabler code; auth code
    print type:NSR license" | nsradmin -i - | \
egrep -v "^$" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/;//g' | \
awk -F":" '($1 ~ /^name*/) { printf("%s ;",$2) }
   ($1 ~ /^enabler*/) { printf("%s ;",$2) }
   ($1 ~ /^auth*/) { printf("%s\n",$2) }[single quote needed here]

A single quote to match the one immediately before [($1 ~ /^name*/)] is needed 
as noted following the final curly bracket on the last line.

The error message you're getting appears to indicate that you didn't properly 
match a double quote when you typed the command on your Linux system.

Needless to say, scripting is totally dependant on getting the matching of the 
various quotes and brackets right.
