SPSS license issue
After updating OSX 10.14.4 to 10.14.6 SPSS26 no longer recognizes the license key and says it is missing, but there is a lservrc file that has data in it. I tried reinstalling the license by reusing the authorization code and it says I can't because it's already been used. It's only ever been used on this computer. Not sure if it needs to be reset.
@Brenanf
1) Go to your SPSS Statistics installation folder. It is probably in;
/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/26/SPSSStatistics.app (right-click > Show Package Contents)/Contents/bin
2) Open lservrc with a text editor.
3) Remove all licenses in lservrc file and paste the license code what I sent you under private post.
4) Save the file to the same installation directory (/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/26/SPSSStatistics.app (Right-click > Show package contents)/Contents/bin).
