Cannot run Statistics nodes in Modeler 13 and above in server mode without a Statistics Client installed on the Modeler client machine

Troubleshooting

Problem

Error Message: Please run PASW Statistics License Location Utility ... Case Description: STEPS TO REPRODUCE: On the Modeler Client I connect to the Modeler Server and doubleclick on an Statistics Transform node and get the error 'Please run PASW Statistics License Location Utility and restart this program before using this node' As far as I can read from the nodes it should be sufficient to use Modeler 14.0 in Server Mode together with a licensed Statistics Server 18.0.1+ and run the statisticsutility on the server, ie: E:\Program Files\SPSSInc\PASWModelerServer14\bin>statisticsutility -location ='E:\Program Files\SPSSInc\PASWStatisticsServer18\' Accoring to the documentation there should be no need to install SPSS on the client. If this is correct then I simply don't get this to work. Any ideas what is wrong here or is a Client installation of Statistics 18.0.2 mandatory to make this work?
