Checking out/in a commuter license

Network licenses normally require that you are connected to the network to run IBM® SPSS® Modeler. If your administrator enabled commuter licenses, you can check out a commuter license to use the network license when you are not connected to the network. For example, you may want to run IBM SPSS Modeler on the train when you don't have a network connection. Before disconnecting from your network and catching the train, you could check out a commuter license for a limited amount of time. You will need to reconnect to the network and check the license back in before the time expires. Otherwise, IBM SPSS Modeler will stop working.

Network licenses are enabled and configured by your administrator. If you would like to use this feature and can't, check with your administrator.

Important: Even if you are able to run IBM SPSS Modeler because you are reconnected to the network, be sure to check the license back in. Doing so will allow other users to take advantage of the commuter license.

Check out a license

  1. Choose Commuter License in the Windows Start menu program group for IBM SPSS Modeler.
  2. Select the license that you want to check out.
  3. In the Duration box, enter the number of days for which you want to check out the license. There is a limit that your administrator configures.
