Before you begin

Visit our Service Catalog and order a license. You'll receive a confirmation email with the authorization codes for several versions of SPSS needed to activate the software. 

Updating your license only

If you're installing ArcGIS Pro for the first time, skip to the next section for instructions on how to download the software and perform the install.

  1. From the Windows Desktop, click Start > All Programs > IBM SPSS Statistics > SPSS License Authorization Wizard.
  2. The License Method dialog appears. Click the radio button next to License my product now then click Next.
  3. The Enter Codes dialog appears. Enter the 20-character authorization code that you received from OIT (be sure there are no spaces before or after the code).
  4. The Internet Authorization Status dialog appears. In this dialog you should see a message such as “Successfully processed all codes.” (If not, make a Screen Print of the dialog shown on the screen, or copy the entire dialog message, and send it to the OIT Help Desk.) Click Next.
  5. The License Completed dialog appears. Click Finish.
