Duke’s annual license agreement for SPSS has been renewed, and we now have a renewal authorization code for SPSS 19 from IBM. Annual licenses for SPSS software purchased through OIT will expire on July 1, and can be renewed at the OIT Software website by placing an order for SPSS software. Anyone who has purchased a license for SPSS during the grace period (between 4/1/11 and now) has already been sent the renewal code for their recently licensed software. All others will need to purchase a renewal license for each copy of SPSS to be renewed.
We apologize for the delay in this news. With IBM’s acquisition of SPSS, software distribution processes have changed considerably and we were unable to get the renewal information as quickly as before.
We have been unable to get a renewal code generated for versions of SPSS prior to 19. IBM did say that is is possible to have renewal authorization codes generated for versions 17 and 18, and they have been requested but not yet received. We will not be renewing version 15 and all users of that version will need to upgrade. IBM recommends that all SPSS users upgrade to version 19.
