Hi Jessica,
Freesurfer is actually looking for the file "/Applications/freesurfer/.license", excluding the file extension. You can simply remove the ".txt" extension from the file name such as with:
$ mv /Applications/freesurfer/.license.txt /Applications/freesurfer/.license

Hi FreeSurfer,
I did the below steps, and I am still getting the same error message.
ERROR: FreeSurfer license file /Applications/freesurfer/.license not found. If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center, go to http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.eduhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu&d=DwMD-g&c=iORugZls2LlYyCAZRB3XLg&r=O7y8UebexwRWyF1th93__qgMOjQ2C85yHAGleU3LVgQ&m=tD0j6QcjYLNZjmvuairLO3aPlX76sbiD0aDlSjsPChM&s=a8Iyk3jjY_OLFL5pRBlkbxn-IyDSn_VC79j7yWHZ4Ew&e= to get a valid license file (it's free). If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center, make sure to source the standard environment.
I checked, and my FreeSurfer file home folder is Applications/freesurfer. And in that folder, I now have a license.txt file as well as a .license.txt file.
I have attached the error log in case helpful.

Hello Jessica,
I believe the environment variable FREESURFER_HOME should point to where the license.txt file lives. That is set when you source the freesurfer setup script, e.g., SetUpFreeSurfer.sh, in the terminal window.
You can see the wiki page here for the 5.3 setup, MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "urldefense.proofpoint.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall5.3https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu_fswiki_DownloadAndInstall5.3&d=DwQFaQ&c=iORugZls2LlYyCAZRB3XLg&r=O7y8UebexwRWyF1th93__qgMOjQ2C85yHAGleU3LVgQ&m=dnbMmPzQjzsvKU8GmdlZcOlyQ8o-eAu8D0P7vUA3VN4&s=w8y-0_JGO7m_i508I5ragfcwm0qCrbk2ZO0d65JsYHc&e=
It looks like the message indicates it is looking for ".license.txt" and not "license.txt"
So in a terminal window you could try the following.
First make sure FREESURFER_HOME is set,
$ echo $FREESURFER_HOME /Applications/freesurfer
Then take the "license.txt" file that was emailed to you and copy it into $FREESURFER_HOME, e.g.
$ cp -p -f license.txt $FREESURFER_HOME/.
Now also make a copy of it there as ".license" - no harm in having it named both ways under $FREESURFER_HOME
$ cd $FREESURFER_HOME $ cp -p -f license.txt .license.txt
... then try running things again.

Hi FreeSurfer,
I was able to find the older versions of FreeSurfer and download v5.1. I am trying to run recon-all and am running into this issue:
ERROR: FreeSurfer license file /Applications/freesurfer/.license not found.

If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center, make sure to source the standard environment.
I went online and filled out information to get a license. I then added the license.txt file to the Applications/freesurfer folder, but I am still getting the same error message. How do I get a .license file? I checked to unhide hidden files, and there is no .license file.

Hi FreeSurfer,
To be consistent with old analyses, I need to process my data using FreeSurfer v5.1 on my Mac. Do you know where I can find the link to install v5.1?
Best,
