Need to transfer SPSS v23 license to a new computer?
Hi there,
Just got a new computer and tried to run spss but there is a license issue. How do I transfer my license? Tried to run the licensing wizard but it said that I was not authorized.
Please help!
When you run the license authorization wizard, please right click and select "Run As Administrator". Then you should be able to enter your authorization code to complete the license on your new system.
Thanks, Meredith Christenson, IBM
Hi Meredith, I have tried this as I am also trying to transition to a new computer. It gave the following error: License information for IBM SPSS Statistics 24 installed in C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\24 Feature 1200 - IBM SPSS Statistics: Unable to acquire a license token due to error 13... A temporary license has expired. It is likely that the client authorization wizard has not yet been run. Specific symptom: 37 Local license for version 24.0 - Temporary WARNING: license has expired.
Do you know what I can try to get around this? Thanks.

For example, cd C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\24 (where "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\24" is the path to the SPSS directory) 3 Run the following command to license your product. licenseactivator auth-code The 'auth-code' parameter represents your authorization code, which is a 20-character, alphanumeric code with lowercase letters a through f and numerals 0 through 9. e.g. 682d162ed168d76450d4
