At a number of IBM SPSS customers (for both IBM SPSS Modeler and IBM SPSS Statistics) the end computer on which the software is installed does not have Internet access. Or there may be a firewall which prevents the License Activation Wizard (or LAW) from working. However, in this situation you do not need to contact support to get your software working! Please follow the steps below to get going.
First, the
License Key Center administrator should go to the page where the authorization code is generated — as in the example below (Go
here for a demonstration on how to get to the authorization code), What is important is to click on the authorization code itself for the next step
If you want to generate a license code for Base modules (Statistics Base, Modeler etc) go to > My authorization codes > Select your products and version > Click "view" to see your codes.
If you want to generate a license code for Add-ons (Custom Tables, Advanced Statistics etc.) go to > Add feature to your installed product > Select your product, module and version > Click "view" to see your codes.
Once the administrator clicks on the link, he or she will see a page asking for a lock code as seen below:
A lock code is an identifier tied to a particular computer and combined with the authorization code allows the software to activate. . How do you get it? For those running Modeler or Statistics on the desktop, run the
License Activation Wizard. that is installed with the software. Click on next (it should only need one click) until you see a screen like below with a lock code. Additional instruction available
here.
(If you are running a concurrent license you need to run the file “echoid” via command line from the Concurrent License Manager installation to get the lock code)
The administrator should enter the lock code into the license key center screen and click on activate. This will get your a full license code. Click on the license code to get the full text.
Note: part # "1200" version "260", expires Midnight of Jan 31, 2020, exclusive from the license code is considered as a comment and won't be read by LAW.
Therefore copy your code in following format A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8I9J0K1L2M3N4O5P6Q7R8S9T0U1V2W3X4Y5Z6A7B8C9D0E1F2G3H4 and enter it in License Authorization Wizard (LAW). Remember to run LAW as administrator.
