Purchase Options

• Academic departments may purchase a network license from ITS or purchase the software individually. The networked license cost is much less then what an individual can purchase, but has some constraints associated with it:
  • Users are limited to whatever version(s) of SPSS ITS makes available
  • ITS upgrades versions annually over the summer
  • SPSS typically releases a new version in October and users of the networked license have to wait until the next summer to get the upgrade
  • Academic license use is restricted to teaching and non-commercial academic research
  • Subscriptions are only valid for the period from June 1 - May 31, must be renewed yearly, and is NOT pro-rated
• Administrative departments must purchase SPSS directly from IBM/SPSS on their own

Licensing

Please note, the license for SPSS Statistics is a PER YEAR subscription, lasting from June 1st through May 30th. These subscriptions expire unless renewed every fiscal year.

• SPSS Statistics is installed in all ITS-managed labs and eClassrooms. The version currently installed is version 20.
• Licenses for academic departments for use on college-owned computers can be purchased for an annual subscription fee of $85 per computer. To purchase or renew an SPSS Statistics license, use the "Order from ITS" link at right to access the SPSS Statistics order form.
• Ithaca College has an SPSS Statistics network license. A network license will only work on a computer that is connected to the Internet.
• Our network license includes a commuter license option which allows SPSS Statistics to be used temporarily when no Internet connection is available. A commuter license is ideal for laptop users who occasionally need to use SPSS Statistics away from a network connection. Please see our SPSS Statistics Commuter License guide (in the Documentation section) for complete details.
