Hi,

I've run into a license problem with the latest version of Freesurfer on 
OpenSuse 12.3. 64 bit.

FREESURFER_HOME: /usr/freesurfer
Build stamp: freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.2.0
Kernel info: Linux 3.7.10-1.1-desktop x86_64

When running a test:

/usr/freesurfer>echo $shell
/bin/tcsh

/usr/freesurfer>source SetUpFreeSurfer.csh
-------- freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.2.0 --------
Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL)
FREESURFER_HOME   /usr/freesurfer
FSFAST_HOME       /usr/freesurfer/fsfast
FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz
SUBJECTS_DIR      /usr/freesurfer/subjects
MNI_DIR           /usr/freesurfer/mni
FSL_DIR           /usr/fsl

/usr/freesurfer>tkmedit bert orig.mgz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file

   If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center,
   go to http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu to
   get a valid license file (it's free).
   If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center,
   make sure to source the standard environment.

/usr/freesurfer>cat .license

This license file has been obfuscated.

/usr/freesurfer>ll -a .license

/usr/freesurfer>cat VERSION

/usr/freesurfer>zypper targetos
openSUSE-12.3-x86_64

/usr/freesurfer>uname -a
Linux adams 3.7.10-1.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 28 15:06:29 UTC 2013 
(82d3f21) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Name: tcl
Version: 8.5.12-3.1.3
Name: tk
Version: 8.5.12-3.1.1

Thanks to anyone who can provide some insight or workaround.  I'm also curious 
if anyone knows the reasoning behind using this type of license mechanism, as 
opposed to agreeing to a license prior to downloading, like FSL or 3DSlicer?

Nick
