Hello!

I was hoping to get some help with swapping a license over between Solidworks 2014 and 2015. I am in the process of setting the license server up (which I am not having trouble with), but what I am having trouble with is changing the license in the registry. I built a piece of code that just redefines SW_D_LICENSE_FILE to the correct value, but pushing that out didn't work. In the past, I've had some success by adding a key to Active Setup in order to force the computer to check if the key had been replaced- so I build a batch file on a past-successful framework. Problem is, this doesn't work as written and I can't figure out why. The final step reports a syntax error, but I'm not sure what it is going wrong.

I figure it's likely something trivial, but I can't see something wrong and I need a fresh set of eyes to point out what I've done wrong.

Any help would be appreciated!

Below is the code from the batch file.
