  • 1.  License Wizard doesn't work (even in trial version!)

    Posted Thu January 05, 2023 09:57 AM
    Hello,
    I just downloaded the SPSS trial but I can't run it because it says "No license exists for IBM SPSS Statistics or the license is expired. The license file might be missing or no network licenses are available." When I click on "Launch License Wizard" it says "The new license takes effect the next time you restart IBM SPSS". When I say restart "no license exists.." message is displayed again.
    I am sure that I downloaded the trial version from the IBM website. 

    The same problem happened with SPSS from my institution. That's why I downloaded the trial version today. 
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi @Ezgi Tuna,

    The License Authorization Wizard applies to the IBM SPSS Statistics On-Prem release.  If you have an On-Prem license code or authorization code, then run the License Authorization Wizard while logged in as an Administrator.  Administrator privileges will be needed in order to update the underlying license file.

    You've indicated that you have downloaded the Trial version.  The Trial version is IBM SPSS Statistics Subscription.  The Subscription version is accessed via your IBMid.  When you first launch the product you are presented with an activation choice.  Choose "Login with IBM ID".  If you are past that step, you are likely getting a dialog titled "IBM SPSS Statistics - License not valid".  If so, take the "Reset License and Restart" button.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello,

    I just installed SPSS trial version on my MAC but I didn't get the activation choice to "Login with IBM ID" upon first launch. Only "Launch the License Wizard", "Reset License and Restart" and "Exit".

    Thanks,

    Mike KL

    Hi @Michail Kouzis-Loukas,
    Choose "Reset License and Restart".
    Upon relaunching SPSS Statistics Subscription you should now have a choice to use IBMid.
