Hi Jacob,

Can you provide more details on how FreeSurfer was installed, how you are using the license key and the errors you are receiving?

I just created a docker container with FreeSurfer v5.3.0-HCP ( https://secure-web.cisco.com/17NmBKDBeKQ2s5KCPv_27uxLlcUpGYh6trWIHdgOkgyAsvw...) and tried my license file and things work fine.

The container is at pwighton/freesurfer:5.3.0-HCP if you would like to try it yourself.

You can run `docker run -it --rm pwighton/freesurfer:5.3.0-HCP` to get an interactive shell inside this container.

Once inside the container, running this test command: ``` mri_convert /opt/freesurfer-5.3.0-HCP/subjects/sample-001.mgz /tmp/sample-001.nii.gz ```

Does indeed give me a license error ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR: FreeSurfer license file /opt/freesurfer-5.3.0-HCP/license.txt not found. If you are outside the NMR-Martinos Center, go to http://secure-web.cisco.com/1Kt9luNDb8VYLtSwGkNyUUc37eRLk-uNlu4t6fKlGJ18E_0c... to get a valid license file (it's free). If you are inside the NMR-Martinos Center, make sure to source the standard environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ```

However after copying my license file to `$FREESURFER_HOME/license.txt` the same command works fine.

Hi all,

Are there really no one out there, who knows, how we can get a FreeSurfer 5.1 and 5.3 running?

How do we obtain/create a license for these versions?

Kind regards / Cordialement / Med venlig hilsen

How do I obtain a license to run old versions of FreeSurfer?

I need to replicate some research done with an old 5.1 and 5.3 version of FreeSurfer and using a current license does not seem to work?

Is it possible to convert the new license to the old license somehow?

Kind regards
