licence when you reinstall a computer

  • 1.  licence when you reinstall a computer

    Posted Mon March 08, 2021 12:50 PM

    Hello,

    I've got 16 licences for a classroom. The computers have windows 7. I want to upgrade them to windows 10 pro.

    They are the same computers.

    I already did that for one computer. I retrieved the lservrc file and paste in the SPSS directory, but the software don't see the licence. I tried with the licence wizard to paste the code to generate the file, but i have the same error.

    However in the documentation, it is clearly written that i can copy the lservrc and paste to the same computer. This step allow you to avoid licensing the product a second time.

    What am i doing wrong ?

You should be able to activate the software with the shorter 20 digit authorisation code. If this does not work, please open a case as described below.

     

     

    Due to privacy issues, SPSS Licensing requests which require exchange of confidential information such as IBM Customer Number, authorization code, email address, etc...  need to be handled through the SPSS Licensing support page:

    https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/topic/0TO500000001xvJGAQ/spss-licensing

    Use the blue button called “Open a case to get help with SPSS License issues” to open a case. Include all required information (e.g. authorization code, lock-code, product version, ...) so that we can immediately process your request.

     

    For licensing questions on Student and Gradpack versions, please reach out to your vendor or academic institution where you obtained the license:
