External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Karsten,



Another option would be to try the 6.0.1 freesurfer release,

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/6.0.1/freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.1.tar.gz



I've been told that it works in this release to set the FS_LICENSE environment 
variable to the path of license.txt

Caution        Hello Karsten,
I
 think the location for license.txt in the freesurfer 6 release needs to
 be under $FREESURFER_HOME, ie., $FREESURFER_HOME/license.txt, and 
cannot be relocated from there by an environment variable.  But you can 
try using a soft link to point to it in another location.  
While
 it does not work to preserve $HOME/license.txt as a reference in 
another environment variable like FREESURFER_HOME or within a soft link,
 I believe the shorthand notation ~/license.txt does work in a soft 
link.   So in your common installation under $FREESURFER_HOME you could 
try,
$ cd $FREESURFER_HOME$ ln -s ~/license.txt license.txt
- and see if freesurfer complains if an individual users $HOME/license.txt (or 
~/license.txt) is missing.
In
 the newer code base on the freesurfer development branch, it should 
work to set the FS_LICENSE environment variable to point to the path of 
the license.txt file, but I don’t think that works in the 6.0.0 release.
Ideally,
 I think the freesurfer group would prefer if each user signed up for 
their own license in order to track usage, so maybe try the soft link.

- R.
