Observed behavior - SPSS 30 "crashes" upon launch, after attempting to authenticate the license.

Tried the same from locadmin account - application behaves properly.

Tried launching as administrator in Users account - launches properly.

Elevated User to admin and rebooted. Doesn't work.

Uninstalled SPSS and reinstalled in Users new admin-ified account.

Application still does not launch properly. And now "launch as admin" doesn't work.

Suspect there's a licensing component that needs to be reinstalled as well.
