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?
