Hello FreeSurfer Developers,

We are attempting to install Freesurfer 5.3 on a server. We have an odd problem. When we run any FS command from this server we get a license error: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file /opt/Ngs_analysis/programs/freesurfer/5.3/freesurfer/.license

But when the same freesurfer called from another server we can run freesurfer without problems.

So we think that maybe is an error from the eviroment.

The server where FS is installed is suse 2011 and the server where run FS instructions and works is centos 2017. I don't know if it helps.


Also we have a problem apptempting to install Freesurfer 6.0 on that sever we allways get a license error wherever we call it.


I've searche the list and no similar errors have been reported. Does anyone have any thought on ho to trouble-shoot this one? Also, I've attached the recon-all.log and enviroment infromation.



1)FreeSurfer version:
freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0, we don't find any
other version. We have freesurfer runing in other machine with suse
also  freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.3.0 but in
version file is write
freesurfer-x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-stable5-20130513 either in the
version file of our server is write
freesurfer-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-stable5-20130513. In the website
I just see for dowloading centos version and in the email list says
that is not tested but people says that no have problems.
2)Platform:	SUSE LINUX
