--license -authorize fails with 9000:invalid flag error

I need a solution

Hi everyone. We are new to PGP Command Line.  Due to an unforeseen need, we must have this installed and working on our server very soon.

I installed the 64 bit version of the software on a Windows 2008 server.  We do not use any other Symantec encryption product on the server.

I checked the documentation and used the specified flags.

For example my statment looks like this (the exact parameters are changed but the flags are as-is):

pgp --license-authorize --license-name "Authorized User" --license-organization "Authorized Company" --license-number "xxx" --license-email "xxx@xxx.edu" 

This results in an error pgp:parser (9000:invalid flag "--license-name") .

I tried using different flags - I just removed "license" from them so this worked:

pgp --license-authorize --name "Authorized User" --organization "Authorized Company" --license-number "xxx"

Which actually registered a license apprently, but that is not what I wanted to do becuase i wanted to include an email address as well.  I received no warning about a missing email address.

I then tried use the --force option to pass the --license-email parameter - instead recieved an "invalid flag" error.  I changed it to --email and then it thought I was trying to open a file with the same name as the email address (??) and errored again.

I tried uninstalling but this requires a reboot and I cannot reboot our server now as it is being used for other purposes.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.  Just the fact that the common flags were not recognized, in spite of all the documentation/examples I have seen, leads me to believe someting is wrong and I canot move forwarduntil this is hashed out.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
