Thanks Matt. I already tried it with a new registration, but it doesn't hurt to try it again. That may be where the issue is. I'll post if that turns out to be the problem. Thanks!

Like I said, they changed the format at some point and stopped accepting the old format with FS 6.0.  I have used FreeSurfer for a long time too and found that I had to get a new license file with this version.

Peace,

Matt.

Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] license file not working

Hello,

I have used my old file, registered under two different emails (and received the code and made new files each time, named both .license and license.txt). Restarted the computer etc. I am wondering if it is a permissions issue. It seems to be finding the file where I put it. Have never encountered this issue and have been using Freesurfer for 11 years. If history is any guide, it will probably turn out to be something stupid that I did :)

The .license that it comes with is not the same as the license.txt that you have to acquire. I was able to use an old license.txt from my Freesurfer 5.3 for 6.0.

Best

Hello,

I have been using Freesurfer for a number of years, and just installed
v6.0. I run into this problem:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file
/Applications/freesurfer/.license
   If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center,
   go to http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html 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 have a valid .license file, in the Freesurfer home directory
