External Email - Use Caution        

Hello KC,

You should try getting a new license.txt via,
https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html
to use on the new system instead of your existing license.txt.  How licenses are read on your new system may no longer works with your old freesurfer license.txt file.

The libpng12.so error may be because that is not installed on your new system.  If you let us know what operating system your new system is running, e.g., CentOS8, Ubuntu 20, etc. then maybe we can help you with that.

Hi KC
 
Where did you get the license.txt file originally? Can you try requesting another? I’ll leave the freeview question for Ruopeng.
 
Cheers

Dear FreeSurfer experts,
 
I have reinstalled FreeSurfer 6 in my new system following the FreeSurferes. I saved  “license.txt” in /usr/local/freesurfer. I am getting the following error. 
 
ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file /usr/local/freesurfer/license.txt
  If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center,
  go to MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu 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 am also getting another error while trying to run 'Freeview'.
 
freeview.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
 
Please advise.
Regards,
KC
