SPSS Licenses
SPSS provides you with a broad range of capabilities for the entire statistical analysis process. With SPSS, you can generate decision-making information quickly using powerful statistics, understand and effectively present your results with high-quality tabular and graphical output, and share your results with others using a variety of reporting methods, including secure Web publishing. The intuitive interface makes it easy to use yet it gives you all of the data management, statistics, and reporting methods you need to do even your toughest analysis. All this enables you to make smarter decisions more quickly by uncovering key facts, patterns, and trends.
License Subscription Information
SPSS license subscriptions are for an annual term beginning July 1, 2008 and ending June 30, 2009. Licenses are not perpetual and are not pro-rated. Licenses are for Faculty, Staff, Student and Research use through Departmental purchase only. No personal payments may be accepted. Licenses are valid for one computer only. If you need to install on separate computers, you must purchase one license for each computer.
Once you purchase a new license, you can renew it at a reduced renewal rate in subsequent years during a 90-day renewal window of May 2009 through 7/30/2009. If you do not renew your license during the renewal window, you will need to purchase a new license. The Primary Contact for SPSS licenses will be sent renewal information in May of each year.
