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 /usr/freesurfer/.license 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).

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?
