I want the installation media for SPSS.<\/h6>\n<p>The SPSS installation media (DVD-R) can be distributed by the colleges, schools, research institutes, centers, and academic service offices. Within these organizations, the installation media can be freely duplicated. Also, the duplicated media can be distributed to the students. However, it cannot be distributed to non-university individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Once the administrator of media is determined (it must be either the teacher or administrative staff) at each institution, apply for the media by e-mail. There is no pre-fixed format for the application. In the mail, clearly write the name of the organization, also the name, affiliation and contact information of the media administrator.

When I check out the Commuter License, the dialog box says \u201cXX (number) is invalid. Please enter a number between 1 and 7\u201d.<\/h6>\n<p>The default Duration (period of loaning) is set under 7 days on installation. It can be set for an extension of up to 30 days by changing the setting on the side of the client PC.

I cannot check out the Commuter License. There is an error message on checking out that says \u201cAn error occurred on check out. Error code: 75.\u201d<\/h6>\n\n\nThere have been reports from some PC terminals that the Commuter License could not be checked out. It is under investigation, but there has been no information on the cause nor are there any countermeasures at this time. For the time being, use other computer terminals that will not cause the same problem. We request that the user cooperates with our investigation efforts. If the user encounters this problem, please contact us as shown at the end of this FAQ.\n\nOn Mac OS, check to see if there is a folder with the following name: <i>\/var\/<\/i>.slm<br \/>\nIf not, users need to run the following:\n\n\n<pre>\r\n\tsudo mkdir <i>\/var\/<\/i>.slm\r\n\tsudo chmod 777 <i>\/var\/<\/i>.slm\r\n<\/pre>\n\n\nThe problem seems to occur because there was no temporary folder for the license created as the installation took place.

What \u201cUniversity of Tsukuba\u201d institutions are included as part of the Site Licensee agreement?<\/h6>\n<p>All the institutes and organizations that are part of the University of Tsukuba such as University Hospital, Elementary School, Junior High School, Senior High School and all other university affiliated institutions are subject to the license agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&bull; Example 1: JSPS postdoctoral fellows accepted by our faculty members<br \/>\nA1. They can use.<\/p>\n<p>&bull; Example 2: A person who officially accepts as a visiting researcher<br \/>\nA2. Those who have proof of acceptance to our university (ID card, permission, etc) are included in the scope of license.<\/p>\n<p>&bull; Example 3: A faculty member of our university purchased a PC by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research and installed SPSS by the site license. The faculty member lend the computer to a collaborating researcher of another univerisity and let the collaborating researcher use SPSS.<br \/>\nA3. This is a license violation because it is not permitted that a non-university person use SPSS outside the university. Basically this license is intended for a person who belongs to University of Tsukuba.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\">Go back to the list of SPSS FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-------------------------------------------------><\/p>\n<h6 id=\"s20\">Q20. Can a non-university person use the Site License of SPSS?<\/h6>\n<p>SPSS Japan lists the following examples as acceptable cases of SPSS usage:<\/p>\n<p>&bull; Example 1: Use in a public program<br \/>\nWhen the public program is hosted by the university, a non-university person could use SPSS.<\/p>\n<p>&bull; Example 2: Usage by out-side persons<br \/>\nIn the case of a corporation, it is acceptable if SPSS were used on the computer terminals of the company by outsiders under the supervision of the corporate administrator (for example, use by contract employees or temporary employees).<\/p>\n<p>Considering the examples above, it is not a problem that SPSS is used within the university research facilities by registered students of the university\u2019s public program or by co-researchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\">Go back to the list of SPSS FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-------------------------------------------------><\/p>\n<h6 id=\"s21\">Q21. Is SPSS available in any other languages; such as English, Korean or Chinese?<\/h6>\n<p>SPSS has multi-language support. The language setting is automatically configured depending on the OS on installation. However, you can change it manually after installation.<\/p>\n<p>Select \u201cOptions(\u30aa\u30d7\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3)\u201d from the \u201cEdit(\u7de8\u96c6)\u201d menu.

Can I use AMOS?<\/h6>\n<p>Yes.<br \/>\n<!--\nAMOS has an access limit (up to 25 terminals at a time) and so, the license server is not open outside the Zengaku Computer System. AMOS cannot be used outside of the university system. Although this option is available in the contract, we have decided that it cannot be provided outside the university system because a certain number of terminals need to be secured for the university classes that require computer terminals.\n\nPlease use other means such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.u.tsukuba.ac.jp\/en-remote\/\">the Remote Desktop<\/a>.\n--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\">Go back to the list of SPSS FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-------------------------------------------------><\/p>\n<h6 id=\"s24\">Q24. What does the \u201cUp to 5 users can use the option\u201d mean?<\/h6>\n<p>Each option uses one license per option at the time the corresponding command (menu) is opened, and only 5, 4 or 2 licenses can be used at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>For example, it is possible to have 40 students run SPSS in a class room setting, however, the Missing Values analysis (Missing Values option) menu can be opened only by 2 students at one time. All the other students need to wait to use the Missing Values analysis menu until one of the 2 prior users finish using that particular SPSS option. The license is counted by options, so even when the Missing Values option is being used, other options such as the Probit module (in the Regression option) can still be opened.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\">Go back to the list of SPSS FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-------------------------------------------------><\/p>\n<h6 id=\"s25\">Q25. Could an option be purchased by a university Laboratory?<\/h6>\n<p>It is not possible for you to use an optional program sold for general public use and combine it to use with the Site Licensed Base. Because our SPSS license is non-permanent (limited until March 2022), the additional purchase of options needs to be a special agreement corresponding to this non-permanent licensing.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, because licenses will be available by the license server for the whole university, it is impossible that those who paid for the cost use preferentially. Additional purchase of options is not realistic.<\/p>\n<p><!--\nIt is not always advantageous to purchase options. Network Licensing is advantageous in that the number of terminals that can use the software is not limited and it is always possible to have the software updated. On the other hand, it is only good until March 2017. As well, the license server needs to be set up within the organization on its own. If the computer terminal on which SPSS is going to run is fixed and if you do not need to have  frequent version updates, there are cases when it can be cheaper to purchase a packaged program including the Base.\n\nPrices vary depending on the remainder of the licensing period.

How do we run the license server on our own?<\/h6>\n<p>As there are restrictions on the number of license, independent operation cannot be performed unless you purchase additional licenses.<\/p>\n<p><!--\nIt is possible to run your own license server. However, as there is no authentication function on the license server itself, you need to take measures to limit access appropriately, such as by only letting the users know the host name.\n\nThe faculty member who is in charge of building the license server needs to contact us as shown below. It will take about one week for issuing license codes.\n--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\">Go back to the list of SPSS FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n\n<h6 id=\"s27\">Q27.

Broadly speaking, data is entered in either &#8220;local locale&#8221; or &#8220;Unicode&#8221;. Local locale is the conventional encoding set for each language, such as Japanese, and takes either one byte (half-width) or two bytes (full-width) per character.

If the file you are trying to open is written in &#8220;Shift-JIS&#8221;, the above message will appear because SPSS automatically converts the file from &#8220;Shift-JIS&#8221; to &#8220;Unicode&#8221; to accommodate this difference.<\/p>\n<p>Select &#8220;\u306f\u3044&#8221; as you can continue to use the file in SPSS Statistics with the settings as suggested in the message.
