Dear Niels
the way Burkhard suggested works also on our Ubuntu16.04. the new license file must have four lines two of which consists of numbers. you mentioned that your license is the same as for FS 5.3.0.

Hi Burkhard,
Thanks for the message but this does not solve my problem. I untarred as root in /usr/local, and as myself in /home. I also requested a new license file (which appears the same btw), and it does not matter. For all options I am still getting the same error saying my license is invalid (ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file). Note that when I installed version 5.3 the license file worked fine (but I got the nu_correct) problem.
I am lost here as to what is causing this. I feel like going back to 14.04 may be the only way forward.
Thanks again.
Hi Niels, I also downloaded the development version recently. After untarring all files are mine (my uid & gid). Did you unpack the tar file as root? Then, I had to request a new license from the freesurfer team. Freesurfer did not accept the old license anymore. But that was it - now it runs again. And I did not see this mri_nu_correct error anymore. all the best, Burkhard -- Dr. Burkhard Maess Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstr. 1a, P.O.
