  • 1.  SPSS 29 doesn´t start

    Posted Tue November 07, 2023 04:30 PM

    Hello everybody, nice to write you again.

    I ´m having a little problem, i just installed the IBM SPSS 29  in a windows server 2022 Datacenter, all was ok, green colour successful in teh end of installation, but when i click to start the spss 29, it only shows the LAW box to add the authorization code again.... It could be a compatibility problem?

    thanks to all....

    Hi @Franz Herrera
    If I understand you correctly, your installation of IBM SPSS Statistics 29 to Windows 2022 Server  went fine and you were able to run the License Authorization Wizard (LAW) without incident.  Now when you launch the product you are getting an error box about there being no license

    Is it this one?
    Since the only kind of licensing supported on Windows Server OS is the Concurrent License  Check these files in the SPSS Statistics install directory

    'commutelicense.ini' -- the DaemonHost line should be pointing to your Sentinel RMS License Server with licenses for your deployment of IBM SPSS Statistics.  If DaemonHost=no-net, then your Statistics install is looking for a local Authorized User license file ('lservrc'). Only Concurrent user licensing is supported for Windows Server OS.

    'lservrc' -- This file should be empty or non-existent.  If this file exists and has a license string in it, then your Statistics install is trying to use the local Authorized User license file.  Only Concurrent user licensing is supported for Windows Server OS.
