Hello again,
I realized I might have missed some important information in my question about freesurfer 5.3 license files a few days ago:
We use Ubuntu 20 with lmod. FREESURFER_HOME is ''/opt/apps/freesurfer/5.3/'' for freesurfer 5.3
When we try ''mri_convert sample-001.mgz sample-001.nii.gz'' without a proper license file we get the Error: ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file /opt/apps/freesurfer/5.3/license.txt
After we copy the license file to the proper position we get: ERROR: Invalid FreeSurfer license key found in license file /opt/apps/freesurfer/5.3/license.txt
So the file is obviously read but rejected. We get the same result it with a brand new license file, and one that still works for freesurfer 5.3 on our CentOS 7 node. We do not have any problems reading the license file in freesurfer 7.2 or freesurfer 7.3
If you need any further information to help us, we am more than willing to provide that.
Thank you so much in advance
