- then scroll down to the very bottom of the page and check the box

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.

External Email - Use Caution

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,
