Hi Nick,
I included that just to illustrate there are no "cut" lines or newlines, it is not the information I entered, but rather an obfuscated license file. The license file I'm using works fine on an older version of Opensuse (11.4) and the 5.3 BETA, but not the newer 12.3 and 5.3 BETA.
Thanks
Nick

Nick,
Can you request another license file? The info in the .license file that is shown in your email below does not appear to be valid. There is no record of it in our license system (or more accurately, number 14743 has different data than that shown). Was it obtained recently?
Our current licensing scheme has been used since at least 1999, so I think the history of how it came about has been lost. Changing it now I think might skew the stats we've collected over the years.

Hi Nick,
It complains about libtix8.1.8.4.so missing. I add $FREESURFER_HOME/lib/tcltktixblt/lib/ to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, but it still complains about the license and does not open bert.
Tried the dev build and 5.3 beta, which also fail at the license.
Why not remove the requirement and have people agree to a license prior to downloading? Lots of folks probably enter bogus information into the registration form anyway. Just trying to be constructive.
Thanks very much for your help

Nicola and Nick,
Can you try the tkmedit.bin found here:
ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/misc/linux-centos6_x86_64/
copy it to the freesurfer/tktools directory (the wrapper script 'tkmedit' in the bin dir calls the binary in the tktools dir).
I'm hoping the problem you are seeing is the same one that others have seen on Fedora 19 and Ubuntu 13 which is fixed for the upcoming 5.3 release.

Hi Nick, hi List,
I have been having the exact same problem (also posted it on this list) with every freesurfer version on Opensuse 12.3, and haven't been able to sort it out.
Any luck with it? Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nicola

Thanks to anyone who can provide some insight or workaround. I'm also curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind using this type of license mechanism, as opposed to agreeing to a license prior to downloading, like FSL or 3DSlicer?
