Using SPSS

If you are using the network license server, because SPSS must check out a license from the central license server each time it runs, you must be connected to the VPN service if using the software from off campus.

If you used an individual license code, there is not need to be connected to the network.

Once you have completed the installation, you can run SPSS by using the IBM SPSS Statistics item in the Start Menu of Windows or the Applications folder on macOS.
