New Mac Catalina

[Baker, Harley]

Colleagues,

 

I am ready to install the newest Mac OS update (10.15 – Catalina) which promises increased productivity, stability and usability over Mojave. Mac users have been warned that Catalina will no longer support 32-bit apps, like the SPSS License Authorization Wizard. SPSS Mac itself is 64-bit, but not the authorization tool. That is the last piece of ‘legacy software’ that needs to be updated. Does anyone know if IBM has created a 64-bit authorization wizard for SPSS Mac products? I looked online but was unsuccessful in locating one at IBM Fix Central. I am hoping that someone else has already located it and can let me know where I can find it so I can download/update the wizard. (Hope I do not have to download and reinstall the entire SPSS package for this, but will do so if necessary.)

 

Thanks!

 

Harley

Thanks, Jon! I was hoping that would be the case. The post says v26 comes with a 64-bit LAW. I have 26.0.0 installed and the LAW is identified as a 32-bit legacy program by the OS. Given the plans to release a Version 26 Fix Pack for MAC Catalina in the coming weeks, I will wait to install Catalina until then.
