IBM SPSS Statistics 19 Windows License Renewal Instructions ®

These instructions are for renewing your IBM SPSS Statistics 19 license for an additional year. It assumes you already have IBM SPSS Statistics 19 installed on your computer.

Before you Start Before you begin, make sure you have your Authorization code(s) handy. Note that each Authorization code licenses only a limited number of installations. Your maximum number of installations is indicated on the message that lists your Authorization code(s). Licenses are tied to your computer’s hardware with a lock code. Should you need to reinstall SPSS Statistics on the same machine, be sure to save your license file, lservrc, located in the SPSS Statistics installation directory. After re-installation, put this file back in the SPSS Statistics installation directory to restore your license. Do not go through the License Wizard for re-installation. If you replace your computer or its hardware, you will need a new Authorization code to get a license for the new equipment. If you find out that you have exceeded the allowable number of licenses specified by your Authorization code, OIT istrative Desk. Warning! The license is sensitive to time changes.

The License Authorization Wizard sends your authorization code over the Internet to IBM and automatically retrieves your license. Firewalls may prevent successful licensing over the Internet.

If the authorization process fails (for example, due to a firewall), you will be prompted to send an e-mail message. Choose whether to send the e-mail message through your desktop e-mail program or through a Web-based e-mail application. If you choose the desktop option, a new message with the appropriate information will be created automatically. If you choose the Web-based option, you must first create a new message in your Web-based e-mail program. Then copy and paste the message text from the License Authorization Wizard into your e-mail application. Send the e-mail message and respond to the prompt in the License Authorization Wizard.
