freesurfer license error: qdec not recognize license
by Henry Do 11 Nov '25

11 Nov '25

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers, I am attempting to use Qdec to perform group comparisons and use the interactive UI to identify which subjects have a significant influence on my clusters. I’m currently running the stable version 6.0 of FreeSurfer. However, Qdec returns an error indicating that my license is invalid. Other FreeSurfer commands run without any issues — it seems that only Qdec reports this error when I run the analysis. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? Thank you very much for your time and help. I have attached the terminal screen and the license below. Regards, Henry.

Recon-all-clinical/SynthSeg Concerns w/ Atrophy
by Rudolph, Marc D 07 Nov '25

07 Nov '25

External Email - Use Caution Our group is trying to decide on whether we should move to FS8/clinical recon all indefinitely, however we note some inconsistencies. In some instances, SynthSeg seems to completely ignore the underlying structure and “imputes” tissue. Cortical thickness estimates are overall most different from FS7, as may be expected, however, in some cases volumes (e.g., hippocampus) may also be overestimated. We have 1mm isotropic T1s, which I see that recon-all may be "generally more accurate than recon-all-clinical.” We’re looking to take advantage of SynthSeg’s ability to overcome poor data quality/dropout/complex folding etc., but do not want to necessarily “in-paint normal looking tissue.” Can you provide any additional information or guidance on the best path forward? Thank you very much for your time and any guidance! ________________________________ This electronic message is intended only for the use of the individual(s) and entity named as recipients in the message.
