To license a SSR 2013 installation using the Symantec System Recovery (SSR) InstallLicense.PS1 Powershell script, the script must be edited. This is one example of how to edit and run the script:

  • Click the Windows (start) button, and search for Windows PowerShell ISE.
  • When it is located, right-mouse button click on it and choose Run as administrator...
  • Click File > Open, and open the script InstallLicense.PS1
  • Locate the line $v2iAuto.InstallLicenseEx("SSR","","03-F183-1121-000102")
  • Replace "SSR" with "Symantec System Recovery 2013" and replace "03-F183-1121-000102" with the proper installation key, with the dashes removed. 
    (example: $v2iAuto.InstallLicenseEx(“Symantec System Recovery 2013”,””,”02G45679989080990809”)
  • Click File > Save to save the revised script.
  • Click File > Run to execute the script. If license key is incorrect, the SSR toaster popup will indicate such and the script will error in PowerShell. Otherwise, the script will show success in PowerShell and the the machine is licensed.
