Ghost 15 EOL and Samsung SSDs

Hi Peeps

My 2 new SSDs from Samsung (via Amazon) both came with Norton Ghost 15 - one loaded on my Win 7 system and activated and is doing the job just fine. My intel NUC with Win 8.1pro however is simply rejecting the licence key activation, albeit the trial period worked just fine and a couple of backups were made - so in a nutshell Symatec is simply refusing to activate NG15....

Why has Symantec done a co-partnership distribution deal with Samsung on HW sold in 2014/2015 on a software title which went EOL in 2013? This is crazy.....

What are my options please as I feel completely ripped off having paid the premium retail price for the SSDs with Software which simple is redundant!

 

Many thanks folks in advance.
