I am trying to install freesurfer on my mac, and I got a license key, which I need to save as ".license" file.

However, the mac is not allowing me to do so.

I tried saving the file in linux and importing to the mac but this failed too.

I also tried saving it as freesurfer.license instead of just .license but I get the error:

[Charmaines-MacBook-Pro:/Applications/freesurfer] Charm% tkmedit bert orig.mgz

Couldn't create output file .xdebug_tkmedit--------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERROR: FreeSurfer license file /Applications/freesurfer/.license not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much,

Best,

Charmaine
