My guess is that pico did not actually save the license file because by default all directories under /Applications is protected. Which mean the "sudo" command is required.

What happens when you type the following in a terminal window? $> cd /Applications/freesurfer $> ls -l license.txt -Zeke On 03/01/2016 11:14 AM, Millan, Carlos wrote: > > > Dear Freesurfer Team, > > I am a researcher here at University of Miami and recently downloaded > Freesurfer to do Cortical Thickness analysis.
