file not found even though it exists - ESET Endpoint Antivirus activation problem

cn flag

I have succesfully installed EST Endpoint Antivirus on Ubuntu 22.04.

Activation fails as follows:

 /opt/eset/eea/sbin/lic --key XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
 bash: /opt/eset/eea/sbin/lic --key: No such file or directory

but this file does exist, indeed. The same happens with all other activation options, including file activation.

I tried to troubleshoot, but at no avail:

 file /opt/eset/eea/sbin/lic
 /opt/eset/eea/sbin/lic: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

The approaches suggested from askubuntu.com and other linux forums failed as well. Also this interpreter seems to be installed.

Maybe someone of this community knows what to do....

That "space" between `...lic` and `--key` is ___not really the ASCII space character___, but it as a character with ASCII code 160 (that resembles the space). Delete it and retype it using the "space bar".

I copied the code from the eset documentation website. The terminal was not interpreting the space correctly. Replace above the mentioned space between lic and --key by space bar, as suggested by @FedKad. Now it works. It interpreted it as a different ASCII code, resembling a space.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
