No licenses found for IBM SPSS Statistics 29. ErrCode=1 SubCode=18

  • 1.  No licenses found for IBM SPSS Statistics 29. ErrCode=1 SubCode=18

    When I put my authorization code into the launch wizard it keeps stating 

    "License information for IBM SPSS Statistics installed in /Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics/Resources/Activation
      No licenses found for IBM SPSS Statistics 29.  ErrCode=1 SubCode=18"

    Please help. Thanks!

    Hi @Grace Fath ,

    The error message you are seeing is telling you that there is no local license file (/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics/Resources/Activation/lservrc), that it does not contain a valid license string, or that you simply don't have the correct permissions to read, create, or update this file.

    If you are licensing with an Authorized User licensing code, please launch IBM SPSS Statistics using an Administrator account and re-run the License Authorization Wizard (LAW).  Launching as a standard user will not have the correct permissions to accomplish your task.

    If instead you are trying to license with a Concurrent User license, you would need to first install our License Manager, license the License Manager, then point your installation of IBM SPSS Statistics at that License Manager.  This process is covered in the Concurrent License Administrator's Guide for IBM SPSS Statistics

    A third potential cause is that there is something wrong with the license itself.  In that scenario, you would need to open a Support case specifically for a Licensing issue.  In the "Product Information" section, for the "Product field" select (or type in) "SPSS Licensing".

    I hope this helps!
