Hi PPJ,

I would rather people use FS without licenses than find themselves unable to use it, so why not leave it for now. Can you put a request that they first download a license or register on your website? Alternatively, can you just remove the .license file from the AMI forcing the users to get one?

thanks for making this available
Bruce

As requested I removed the AMI image because that image contains a .license 
file.
I can republish the image when we find a solution for the licensing issue.

      It would be great if Freesurfer maintained an official AMI. One important 
reason to do so is security. If the
      AMI is maintained by the organization, then people can feel reassured 
that their data is not being downloaded to
      a compromised instance, not that any on this board would have such 
malicious intent. Moreover, it could contain
      such scripts as makes the analysis process easier.

      Ok. I'll label as private this AMI that has .license file.
Maybe we can make a tutorial on how to create an AMI instead.

      Glad to hear it works well.  To revisit the issue of the license (in the
      form of the .license file which needs to be in the $FREESURFER_HOME
      directory and the request of which is used for usage tracking), I think
      the convention to follow for any publicly available AMI freesurfer
      instances should be to not include a .license file with it, so as to
      force the download of this file (so that freesurfer usage will be
      tracked).  A user need only do this once for however many times they use
      the cloud instance.

      N.
