  6. Select Install.


  7. After the installation completes, select Finish.  SPSS should open automatically.


  8. A license prompt will appear.  Select Launch License Wizard.


  9. SPSS will show that no licenses are found.  Select Next >.


  10. Contact the Service Desk at [email protected] or https://support.adler.edu to request a license. Include the lock code, which is required to generate the license.


  11. After the Service Desk provides the license code, select Authorized user license (I purchased a single copy of the product) and then select Next >.
  12. Paste the license code in the Enter Code: field and select Add.  Then select Next >.


  13. SPSS should import the license.  Select Next > to complete the license activation process.
