Hi PPJ,
I would rather people use FS without licenses than find themselves unable to use it, so why not leave it for now. Can you put a request that they first download a license or register on your website? Alternatively, can you just remove the .license file from the AMI forcing the users to get one?
thanks for making this available Bruce

As requested I removed the AMI image because that image contains a .license file. I can republish the image when we find a solution for the licensing issue.

2011/11/15 Joshua Lee jkilee@ucdavis.edu It would be great if Freesurfer maintained an official AMI. One important reason to do so is security. If the AMI is maintained by the organization, then people can feel reassured that their data is not being downloaded to a compromised instance, not that any on this board would have such malicious intent. Moreover, it could contain such scripts as makes the analysis process easier.

To revisit the issue of the license (in the form of the .license file which needs to be in the $FREESURFER_HOME directory and the request of which is used for usage tracking), I think the convention to follow for any publicly available AMI freesurfer instances should be to not include a .license file with it, so as to force the download of this file (so that freesurfer usage will be tracked). A user need only do this once for however many times they use the cloud instance.
