IBM SPSS Version 24 Installation and Registration The following set of instructions will walk you through installing IBM SPSS Statistics on

your computer. Version 24 is compatible with all supported Windows operating systems

(Windows 7 and newer).

We suggest that you first obtain the SPSS license code before you begin downloading SPSS. Obtain the SPSS license code from this link: http://ezp.waldenulibrary.org/limited/spsslicense.html You will need to enter your Walden user name and password if you are not already logged into the Library or Blackboard. Simply copy and paste the code into a Word document so that you have it available

when prompted to enter it at the end of the installation sequence. You can always enter

the code later; however, having it on hand to enter during the installation is much easier.

SPSS Statistics software installation link for Windows is given below. Access the

appropriate installation link depending on your operating system:

SPSS v24 Windows 32-bit install: http://mym.cdn.laureate-

media.com/2dett4d/software/IBM/SPSS/v24/SPSS_Statistics_24_win32.exe

SPSS v24 Windows 64-bit install - http://mym.cdn.laureate-

media.com/2dett4d/software/IBM/SPSS/v24/SPSS_Statistics_24_win64.exe

Not sure which if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Operating System? Access

Microsoft’s page for further clarification.

This installation requires at least 1GB of free space on your computer. Because of the

large size of the installation file, it is recommended that you are on a DSL or better

internet connection. Even with a strong internet connection, the installation may still take

up to 30 minutes or longer. While the tool is installing, you may continue to work within

other applications on your computer.

Does your course require SPSS AMOS? If yes, access the install link and license code.

If you are using a Mac operating system, you may follow these instructions.

Note: Java Runtime Environment must be installed on your computer in order for SPSS

to run. If you experience any issues with SPSS or if you are prompted, you may install

Java SE Runtime Environment 7u45 from the Oracle website.

When prompted, save the file in the desired location on your computer. (Note: Depending on your browser, this screen may look a little different.) This step may take up to about 20 minutes if you are on a 128 Kbps internet connection. Once the file has been saved, run the file.

Run the file by double-clicking on it from where it was saved.

If you receive a security warning, click Run.

The install wizard will appear. Click Next.

Read through and accept the License Agreement and then click Next.

If you would like to add the Essentials for Python plugin to your installation, you can select “Yes” and then click Next. It is not recommended that you install this plugin as it will not be required for your Walden course work.

If you would like to change the folder for which SPSS is housed, click the Change button. The default location is likely fine. Then click Next.

Click Next.

If you haven’t already done so, obtain the SPSS license code from this link: http://ezp.waldenulibrary.org/limite d/spsslicense.html You will need to enter your Walden user name and password if you are not already logged into the Library or Blackboard.

Copy that code and paste it into the Enter Code field. This code will only license the

software until September. At that

time, you will need to access the

license code page referenced

license code. For instructions on
