Eligibility
An SPSS Faculty Pack is restricted to use by a Faculty Member, which is an individual who actively teaches a course utilizing IBM SPSS Programs for a degree granting institution, for classroom teaching and non-commercial academic research. Non-commercial academic research means research by a Faculty Member where (i) the results of such research are not intended primarily for the benefit of a third party; (ii) such results are made available to anyone without restriction on use, copying or further distribution; and (iii) any copy of any such result is furnished for no more than the cost of reproduction and shipping. Any other use including but not limited to university administration and operations is strictly prohibited.

If you buy the same version (e.g. version 29) you will not need to re-install the software - just run the License Authorization Wizard and use the new code.

Do I have to use an academic email address when ordering a SPSS Faculty Pack?
No, but it is highly recommended. If you use an academic email address, we will be able to approve the order without further information. If we don't recognize the email address - don't worry - you can still order and we will process your academic proof quickly.

A valid SPSS authorization code is always 20 characters in length and only made up of any numbers 0-9 and any lowercase letters a-f.
