– Use on PC

SPSS Statistics/AMOS can be installed on any PC/Mac at no cost to students (including non-degree students and research students) and staff of the University. PCs that can be installed include the personal belongings of staff and students, but SPSS must not be used by anyone other than staff and students of the university. If the software is installed on a university PC, it can also be used by students attending public lectures, etc. sponsored by the university, regardless of whether they are paid or free of charge.

Installation requires an installation program file and a network connection to the license server.

Concurrent User license is provided. The license manager (spss.u.tsukuba.ac.jp) is set up and connected to the license server for the Zengaku Computer System. The license server can only be accessed from the university network (including clients of the VPN connection service of the Academic Computing and Communications Center. The firewall must be set to allow access to the license server (spss.u.tsukuba.ac.jp) UDP/5093. If you are using a private address, please set up address translation if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Others

    • Version upgrades can be made at any time during the contract period. The new version can be used by obtaining the installation program and setting the license code for the new version on the license server. You can continue to use the previous version on the PC on which the previous version was installed unless the license for the previous version is deleted from the license server. The previous license will be provided until the end of IBM’s product support (IBM Support Product Lifecycle). Note that AMOS requires an allocation of the number of licenses for each version, so you can use only the same version as the Zengaku Computer System and one previous version.
    • Version 24 is no longer supported by IBM. Our university also stopped providing it on March 22, 2022; if you are using v24, please upgrade to the latest version.
