Renewing the SPSS Subscription

The license for SPSS expires each year, requiring you to renew your subscription in order to continue using SPSS. When the license expires, the license code to reactivate SPSS will be available within the DC Network so that you may renew your subscription. For instructions to renew your SPSS subscription, please select an operating system below.

NOTE If you are receiving an invalid code error, please make sure you are typing it in correctly. You can also get the error if you are using a previous version of SPSS (i.e. version 24); make sure you are using the most current version. If you are not, you can uninstall the previous version and install the new one.
