Am I supposed to cut and copy the three lines into the LICENSE file (I tried but was not allowed to make changes in it)? Or am I supposed to create a new file with an extension .license and copy it into the freesurfer folder? ( May seem irrelevant but I copied the LICENSE file to desktop; delete everything and put only the three lines between CUT HERE markers and saved the file with a .license extension and put it in the freesurfer directory- but it didnot help.)

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Here is your FreeSurfer license. Place the three lines between the
CUT HERE markers in a file named ".license" in the directory pointed to
by the $FREESURFER_HOME environment variable (see the FreeSurfer documentation).

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).

If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center,

make sure to source the standard environment.
