Software License Information:

Some examples include:

* Only Missing Values is exclusive to the Software Center version of SPSS. Individual licenses purchased or installed from Tigerware will not have Missing Values functionality.


The following modules are unavailable, however can be purchased by individual departments annually as a full package of every add-on not included in the Standard license above for $400 per user:

  • Categories, Decision Trees, Neural Networks, Direct Marketing, Complex Samples, Conjoint, Exact Tests
     

If your department would like to purchase this, please have your IT group send in a TDX Software License request and specify you would like the SPSS 1 year term faculty pack license for additional modules. Please keep in mind that this may not be compatible with the free offering on Software Center which means you would also need to have bought the base SPSS license for one user for $130 previously; ITS will discuss this with you and determine a total cost before any purchase is made.
