Hi Leema,
This is a known issue. It has to do with the behaviour of the crypt() function provided by glibc, which has changed in more recent versions of ubuntu. We don't have a solution for it at this time, unfortunately.
If you downgrade to ubuntu version 16.04 (glibc v2.23) the license mechanism should work, or you could upgrade your version of FreeSurfer. If neither of those options are possible, you could run FreeSurfer inside a docker or singularity container derived from ubuntu 16.04.

External Email - Use Caution
Hello FreeSurfer Developers,
I’m trying to use Freesurfer version 5.1 for my work. I get errors based on invalid license even though I have provided the right license within $FREESURFER_HOME/.license
Is there a specific way to define the license file for 5.1 version. I have been using the latest version before and I had just added the license.txt with $FREESURFER_HOME.
Please can anyone help me to troubleshoot this issue.
Platform: Ubuntu 18.04
Freesurfer version: freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.1.0

Looking forward for you reply.
Thank you,
Leema
