SPSS Topics: Installing/Renewing SPSS 14, 15 and 16
Installation Instructions:
- Insert the CD and click "Install SPSS"
- Toggle "Site License"
- Click "Next"
- Toggle "I accept the terms in the license agreement" (if you agree)
- Read instructions and click "Next"
- Enter the serial number provided by ITCS
- Choose your destination folder and click "Next"
- Click "Install"
- After the installation is done click "OK" to launch "License Authorization Wizard"
- Click "Start"
- Toggle "Use Authorization via Internet to get License"
- Click "Next"
- Enter the license code provided by ITCS
- Click "Next"
- Click "Finish"
- Click "Finish" on Installation Wizard, unless you have other module codes to install, then launch the Wizard again.
Renewal Instructions:
- After installing SPSS 16, you should be able to select (from the Start menu):
All Programs -> SPSS Inc -> SPSS 16.0 -> License Authorization Wizard.
For SPSS 14 and SPSS 15,
All Programs -> SPSS for Windows -> License Authorization Wizard. - Given a renewal code for SPSS 14, 15, or 16, you can then use this Wizard to enter the updated authorization code, and receive the updated license.
Every year, the U of M license for the SPSS software will expire on July 1, and users will see the following error message after July 1: "Your license renewal date has passed. SPSS for Windows will stop working if a new license is not installed soon. If you don't want to see this message again, run expoff.bat in the SPSS directory." This does not mean that SPSS is no longer working. All it means is that as soon as the set of SPSS license codes for the next year becomes available, you will need to enter them into the License Authorization Wizard as described above. SPSS Users have a 60-day grace period allowing them to obtain the new license codes, and unless that expoff.bat file is run, this message will appear every time that SPSS is started.
ITCS at U of M has a policy where any license codes ordered after May 1 are free of charge, since the codes will expire on July 1. After that, you should check with CSCAR to see when the new codes will be available, which will need to be paid for (for the upcoming year).
