Hi Frederic, are you by chance auto-competing the webform? If so, I suggest turning off any auto-completer plugin and filling out the form again. We have a rather simple spam detector that checks if a hidden form field has been filled out, and if it has, it assumes the submission was completed by a web crawler. Sorry for the inconvenience!

 

best,

Andrew

And filled out the form ...

Then the web page should re-load to display:

 

FreeSurfer Registration

Thank you for registering. Your FreeSurfer license XXXXX has been emailed to XXXXXX

Email fsregister@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu if you have problems with the attached license

 

Then a few minutes later you should receive the “license.txt”  file which should be copied into the directory you have set as $FREESURFER_HOME in your shell environment.

Hello FreeSurfer Devs, 

 

after trying to run freesurfer w/ fMRIprep, I get the following error:

 

--------

GNU libc version: 2.23
ERROR: Systems running GNU glibc version greater than 2.15
  require a newly formatted license file (it's free). Please
  download a new one from the following page:
  http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html

--------

 

After which I tried to generate a new license via the above link. However, the form always redirects to a Spammer page. While I did generate a license file in the past, I would like to have an updated license compatible with the above system. 

 

I am not a spammer, but a PhD student at UC Santa Barbara :) 

 

Thank you! 

 

Best,
