Installing SPSS

Note: To install SPSS, you must be logged on to your computer with administrator privileges.

Your administrator might have given you a CD-ROM or identi?ed a network location from which to install. Check with your administrator if you do not know the procedure to follow to install SPSS.

Upgrading from a Previous Release

You do not need to uninstall an old version of SPSS before installing the new version. If you want to keep both versions, be sure to install the new version in a separate directory. If you install the new version in the same directory in which a previous version is installed, the previous version is automatically uninstalled.

Installing from a CD-ROM

Windows XP

  • Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The AutoPlay feature presents a menu.
  • On the AutoPlay menu, click Install SPSS, and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. See Notes Specific to UI Installation in this document for any special instructions.

Windows Vista

Note: You must run the AutoPlay as administrator:

  • Close the AutoPlay window that automatically appeared.
  • Using Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM.
  • Right-click setup.exe at the root of the CD and choose Run as Administrator.
  • On the AutoPlay menu, click Install SPSS, and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. See Notes Specific to UI Installation in this document for any special instructions.

Installing from a Network Location

  • From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.

License type: Be sure to select Site License.

Serial number and Authorization Code: When you purchased your license from the UI Bookstore you should have been provided a serial number and an authorization code; use the serial number and authorization code delivered with your product. Contact your administrator if you did not receive the serial number and authorization code.

Note: Previous versions of SPSS required a separate authorization code for SPSS Base, Regression Models, and Advanced Models.  This version of SPSS no longer requires separate codes for each module.

Using the License Authorization Wizard

              Note: If you are running Windows Vista, you may be prompted for administrator credentials. Without the        correct credentials, you will not be able to run the License Authorization Wizard.

  • If you don’t launch the License Authorization Wizard during installation or cancel the License Authorization Wizard before obtaining a license, you can launch it by choosing License Authorization Wizard in the Windows Start menu program group for SPSS.

 

                 

 

  • The License Wizard will automatically drop into a License Status window which reports the SPSS products currently licensed to operate on your computer.

                 

 

  • Select Next.  The Wizard will proceed to the Choose Licensing Method window.  Choose License my product now.
                    

 

In the next window SPSS provides a brief Overview of Licensing.

 

                  

  • Select Next.  Enter one or more authorization codes and select Next. You can authorize more than one SPSS product in this step by selecting Enter additional codes.  Each authorization code must be entered in the same format as that provided by the UI Bookstore (upper/lower case rules apply).

                  

 

  • In the Select Authorization Method window that appears, select the default method which is Internet (recommended).  This method will be used to authorize all SPSS products for which an authorization code with entered in the previous step.

 

                 

 

  • Select Next to send the email message.  Please allow sufficient time for your computer to open an internet connection and establish connection to the SPSS Inc. license verification server.  This may take only a few seconds or several minutes if the server is busy.  You will receive a progress report showing each step of the authorization process.

 

             

 

  • Select Next and the final window will appear, showing that the licensing has been completed.

 

             

 

  • Select Finish and you are now ready to use the SPSS product or products that you have successfully licensed.
