SPSS - new license and software distribution SPSS - new license and software distribution

The current license for SPSS runs out on October 1st, 2024. The distribution of the new SPSS-codes is currently in preparation and will be designed completely new. A warning "Ihre Lizenz läuft ab" ("Your license is about to expire") will remind you to renew your license. The software remains in operation until the end of October and until then we will organise an extension.

There will be significant changes: On the one hand, the University of Bonn has acquired a campus license for employees and students that is payed forward. This means that in the future the use of SPSS will not have to be paid by the users. On the other hand, the distribution of the (new) codes has to be fully remodelled. The respective process has started but has not yet been finished, due to time constrains.

Background

A statewide license could not be agreed upon at the beginning of this year, so, a public call was enacted during the summer break. The campus license for the University of Bonn was a result from this call. Simultaneously, it was decided that the new campus license would be paid for with central funds to avoid individual users sharing the cost. For this reason, the distribution and license and activation procedures are currently being completely revised.
