As a result of changes to IBM’s SPSS licensing rules and a re-categorization of our legacy licenses, administrative use of Tufts’ legacy SPSS licenses for administrative work is no longer permitted.
I’ve attached a copy of the list of administrative users for whom administrative licenses were purchased. All of the individuals on this list are now permitted to use SPSS Base, Advanced and Regression for administrative work. All Institutional Research users are licensed for Custom Tables in addition to the other three modules (Base, Advanced and Regression). For those administrative users that already have legacy licenses installed, Iris Schwartz, our SPSS representative, assures me has assured us that the software can continue to be used until the current activation nears expiration and is re-activated. Software does not have to be re-installed.
As in the past, UIT’s the TTS Site License program will continue to cover maintenance for these administrative SPSS licenses as long as funding is available. New administrative users, that is, users who will require licenses in addition to those already purchased, will need to acquire the software licenses on their own. And again, as in the past, new users who wish to add their licenses to UIT’s the TTS SPSS Software Site ID will have maintenance covered by the Site License program in the out-years, as long as funding remains available.
