UPDATE 12/11/2019:

Information Technology Services (ITS) has applied new licenses of SPSS on all computer lab machines. 

If you have a separate, previously assigned SPSS license, you will receive a separate email from the ITS Help Desk that contains your updated SPSS license key, and you will need to apply the new license key to continue SPSS use.

If you have any questions, concerns or continue to see SPSS expiry notices, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

 

UPDATE 12/5/2019:

Information Technology Services (ITS) has received updated SPSS licenses for the new term and will apply the new license keys on all computer lab machines on Friday, December 6th at 5:00 PM. The software version has not changed with this license update.  We do not expect this to cause any interruption to the service. 

If you have a separate, previously assigned SPSS license, you will receive a separate email from the ITS Help Desk that contains your updated SPSS license key, and you will need to apply the new license key to continue SPSS use.

If you have any questions, concerns or continue to see SPSS expiry notices, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

UPDATE 11/25/2019:

Denison has executed the licensing acquisition for updated SPSS licenses. ITS expects to have the new licenses in had sometime within the week and will distribute new license codes as soon as they are available. As a reminder, SPSS will continue to function with the current license until 12/29/2019.

 

Original Post:

Denison’s current SPSS licenses expire on 11/30/2019 with a 30-day grace period after that. Information Technology Services (ITS) is in the process to reviewing and renewing the SPSS license server to reflect the 2020 license. ITS will update the network license server and distribute new codes as soon as they are available. If you see a license alert in SPSS, you may disregard that. SPSS will continue to function with the current license until 12/29/2019, so there will not be any gap in SPSS availability.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

RESOLVED:

Denison’s e-Procurement partner, Jaggaer, is functioning and available.
