SPSS 17.0 Installation Guidelines and Steps 7/29/2010

Make sure you have the serial number and authorization code on hand (that were emailed to you) to complete this

installation.

For version 17 specifications and systems requirements, you can go tohttp://www.spss.com/media/collateral/S17SPC-

0908lr.pdffor in-depth information on what is available in this new version and what you will need to install it on your

computer. There are also user manuals available on the download server in the MANUALS folder, if needed.

PLEASE NOTE:

To install/uninstall SPSS Statistics, you must be logged on to your computer with administrator privileges. Since our licensing is limited for SPSS, you will need to uninstall older versions of SPSS before installing version

17. If you install the new version in the same directory in which a previous version is installed, the previous

version is automatically uninstalled, and any changes you made in Options will reset to the default settings.

Before you uninstall the old version, move any files you wish to keep out of the SPSS directory into anotherdirectory, like the temp directory. This recommendation is for data, syntax, output, scripting files, chart

templates, etc and not SPSS system files. To cleanly uninstall SPSS, use the Add/Remove Programs option in the

Control Panel.

If you are installing on Windows Vista, you must run the installer as administrator. If you have output files from version 15 (ending in .spo), you will need to download and install the free Legacy

Viewer from SPSS athttp://www.spss.com/statistics/in order to open the files in version 17 (note that you will

only be able to view these files, not edit them it is recommended to regenerate the data files in version 17 to

be able to edit them). Click on the Downloads tab on this web page, then click on the Legacy Viewer link in the

list of downloads. This step will need to be done after you have installed the version 17 software.

Start the installation process by clicking on

the setup.exe icon (in some cases, thiswindow may open automatically if you are

downloading from the server):

NOTE: If you are using a laptop, make sure

you are not connected to a docking station

when installing and licensing SPSS.

Using the License Authorization Wizard

If you dont launch the License Authorization Wizard during installation or cancel the License Authorization Wizard

before obtaining a license, you can launch it by choosing License Authorization Wizard in the Windows Start menu

program group for SPSS Statistics.

Note: If you are running Windows Vista, you may be prompted for administrator credentials. Without the correctcredentials, you will not be able to run the License Authorization Wizard.

When prompted, choose License my product now. When prompted, enter your authorization code. You should have received the authorization code(s) from your

administrator.

The License Authorization Wizard sends your authorization code over the Internet to SPSS Inc. and automaticallyretrieves your license. If your computer is behind a proxy, click Configure proxy settings and enter the

appropriate settings.

If the authorization process fails, you will be prompted to send an e-mail message. Choose whether you want to send

the e-mail message through your desktop e-mail program or through a Web-based e-mail application.

If you choose the desktop option, a new message with the appropriate information will be created automatically.

If you choose the Web-based option, you must first create a new message in your Web-based e-mail program. Then

copy the message text from the License Authorization Wizard and paste it into your e-mail application. Send the e-mail

message and respond to the prompt in the License Authorization Wizard. The e-mail message will be processed almost

instantaneously. You can click Enter License Code(s) to enter any license code(s) that you receive. If you already closed

the License Authorization Wizard, restart it and select License my product now. On the Enter Codes panel, add the

license code that you received and click Next to complete the process.
