Catch 22 - SPSS 25 license and MAC OS BigSur

  • 1.  Catch 22 - SPSS 25 license and MAC OS BigSur

    Posted Thu April 01, 2021 02:47 PM

    Hi,

    I have purchased through my university a license for SPSS 25 which comes with the installation of SPSS 25.

    However, the installation ails on my Mac OS BigSur (looked at the forum, I see that it's a known issue).

    I have downloaded SPSS 27 and I was able to install it and it seems to be working but I am unable to use my license.

    This is kind of frustrating... I am forced to use a version which is unsupported by my purchased license.

    I would be happy to use SPSS 25 with the purchased license but it doesn't work. What can I do (which doesn't involve buying another license)?

    Thank you

    Support Member​  - Unfortunately if you are on Big Sur you have to use SPSS 27.0.1 and have a Authorization code for SPSS 27.

     

    There isn't anything else that can be done. Please look at this blog for Big Sur
