External Email - Use Caution
The 5.3 release dates back to ~10 years ago when CentOS4 was current. Because of changes to the crypt libraries since then (Ubuntu 22, CentOS8), it is no longer possible to decode a license for older versions of freesurfer on newer iterations of linux OS's. Your alternative is to use Ubuntu 22 to host a container or VM, e.g., in VirtualBox, to run the version of the old OS you previously ran the 5.3 release under. You can obtain copies of end of life'd OS iso images from the respective linux vendors web site - under OS archives or some similar title - in order to create a VM/container to run the old OS. - R.
