Im having a little difficulty following all the avenues of your attempts
to get this working, but the bottom line is that the error message below
is complaining that you do not have a valid license file.

You need to go to this page and register and get the valid license file:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html

Once you get a valid license file you will need to place it in your
$FREESURFER_HOME directory (the same directory that contains
build-stamp.txt) and give it the name .license or license.txt. Try both.
