External Email - Use Caution        

There’s no need to have a license file in a particular location if you set the environment variable FS_LICENSE to point to the license file.

If you are using the Ubuntu 18 VM made available with Freesurfer 7, then adding the license.txt file you received to developer’s home directory should have caused FS_LICENSE as set in the environment to read it,

$ cd $HOME
$ pwd
/home/developer
$ ls -l license.txt
… and you should see something like ...
-rw-rw-r— 1 developer developer  nn  month  day  hours:minutes  license.txt
$ echo $FS_LICENSE
/home/developer/license.txt
$ head -1  $FS_LICENSE
you@somewhere.com      <—— email you used to register

If the above is not working in your copy of the VM, then set FS_LICENSE manually,

$ export FS_LICENSE=/path_to_file/license.txt

Dear FreeSurfer Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm Fargol, a PhD candidate at the University of Washington. I followed your guidance to use FreeSurfer on the virtual machine successfully. I obtained the license as instructed.

However, I faced two problems while trying to use FreeSurfer on VirtualMachine:

  1. I'm unable to move the license file to a different directory within VirtualMachine.
  2. Even when I attempt to add the license in a different directory, I receive an error message stating that I don't have permission to do so.

Could you please assist me in resolving these issues so that I can utilize FreeSurfer effectively on VirtualBox?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Kind regards,

Fargol
