Working with IBM SPSS Statistics in macOS Catalina

Troubleshooting


Problem

Installation
During installation you may receive the following error message: "libjvm.dylib" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
License Authorization Wizard
The License Authorization Wizard produces an error to indicate that the application must be updated (it is a 32-bit application and macOS Catalina does not support 32-bit).
After entering a license code, the application indicates that all codes were successfully processed, but then immediately informs users that no valid licenses can be found.
Data files
Due to changes in the way macOS Catalina handles new file/directory access, IBM SPSS Statistics is not able to open data files using the file chooser or the GET FILE command.
Note: This issue is resolved starting with IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 Fix Pack 1 (available end of October, 2019).
