Hi Sinem
you need to create a file named
$FREESURFER_HOME/.license
with the contents begin the stuff between the CUT HERE lines:
erdogan83@gmail.com 11403 �*CQmdQSakwEaM
if you don't have permission to create it you need to talk to your sysadmin about creating it.
cheers Bruce

Dear FreeSurfer Users;
I am quite new to FreeSurfer and have just downloaded the full package. However; I do have a serious problem with introducing the license file to the system. The Freesurfer registration e-mail doesnot have any attachments but tells me to 'Place the three lines between the CUT HERE markers in a file named ".license" in the directory pointed to by the $FREESURFER_HOME environment variable' Am I supposed to cut and copy the three lines into the LICENSE file (I tried but was not allowed to make changes in it)? Or am I supposed to create a new file with an extension .license and copy it into the freesurfer folder? ( May seem irrelevant but I copied the LICENSE file to desktop; delete everything and put only the three lines between CUT HERE markers and saved the file with a .license extension and put it in the freesurfer directory- but it didnot help.) Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Here is your FreeSurfer license. Place the three lines between the CUT HERE markers in a file named ".license" in the directory pointed to by the $FREESURFER_HOME environment variable (see the FreeSurfer documentation).
