I may be an idiot, but have spent a frustrating hour trying
to find the 18.0.1 or .2 or .3 patches. Help please! |
Hello Daniel,
The Statistics 18 product is now considered a 'legacy' product and patches are no longer publicly available directly from the IBM SPSS web site. To gain access you will need to open a Service Request with IBM SPSS with a request for access to the Statistics 18 product patches. To create an IBM SPSS Service Request via web requires registration for an IBM Web ID. If you do not have an IBM Web ID, you can create one by going to the following web page and providing the required information: https://www.ibm.com/account/myibm/profile.do?cc=us&lc=en&page=reg If you experience problems or have questions regarding registering for an IBM Web ID, please open the following web page and review the information provided: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21497485 To submit a Service Request, please open the following web page and provide the requested information: https://www.ibm.com/support/servicerequest/Home.action To sign up for IBM SPSS product updates and alerts, please open the following web page and provide the requested information: https://www.ibm.com/systems/support/myview/subscription/css.wss/subscriptions?methodName=startSearchToSubscribe Harold Annen IBM SPSS Technical Support ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

Why in the world would patches not be publicly available?

You said what I was thinking. As
a current user of SPSS 18 this does not strike me as good customer service.

In reply to this post by Harold Annen
Thanks for the information -- which would have been useful to have
'somewhere' on the web site. I was able to download the patch from a university web site, thanks to the assistance of a user on this listserv. I would also like to state (as has been stated before on this list) that the IBM web site is a real trial to navigate. As an SPSS user, I was looking for things dealing with - guess what? - SPSS. It would be a real service to users like me if I could have gone to a single address where I could find what I wanted. I would respectfully suggest that some thought be made to revise the site with an eye on user interface and usability. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Annen [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 11:23 AM To: [hidden email]; Bibel, Daniel Cc: Harold Annen Subject: Re: I give up - where on ibm.com are spss 18 patches???
