Unlike earlier version, SPSS 18 (and 17 I think) have the "license authorization wizard" as a separate program, not an option up in tools or something. If you're on a PC, go to the start menu and find the SPSS group and you should see, in addition to the actual SPSS icon, a license authorization icon where you can put in the license.

Thanks for this, but I now have a serious problem.  The instructions for downloading and authorisation are as clear as mud.  I already have 18 and can't find a way to insert the authorisation code.  Tried to download 19, but it just ran out of time after 4 and a half hours!

 

Now what do I do?

I'll try your solution, but why do they do it?  They've even changed the page layout on their mails.  Do they own forests or something?

You just saved me half a day, or rather I wasted half a day before I saw your solution.  Many thanks.

 

Why don't SPSS put stuff where you can see it?  ..and why have they changed the format of their emails so you need a magnifying glass to read them?  Anyway, 18 now safe until Aug 2011 so I can continue with my (unique and wonderful so the users say) syntax-based tutorials for processing and analysing data from questionnaire surveys. 

 

They said I can have 19, but it time-expired 4 and a half hours into download.  OK for corporate giants with massive computing, but not so good for retired academics on cranky old machines with copper wire connections in rural France!  Perhaps if I wait until midnight..?
