Terms of use

After you purchase the Annual Subscription License from the Software Catalog, you may only use the software program(s) for teaching and non-commercial academic research purposes on computers owned or leased by the University of Utah during the term of the license.

Non-commercial academic research means research by degree seeking students and faculty members where (i) the results of such research are not intended primarily for the benefit of a third party; (ii) such results are made available to anyone without restriction on use, copying or further distribution; and (iii) any copy of any such result is furnished for no more than the cost of hosting, reproduction, and shipping. Any other use including but not limited to university administration and operations is strictly prohibited.

Single user licenses

For each Single User license you purchase, you are allowed to activate the software on a maximum of 4 university owned or leased computers provided you are the sole user of all computers that you install the software on. You are allowed to use your university owned or leased computers to use the software for work at home purposes. You are allowed to have all 4 computers operating simultaneously

Concurrent user licenses

A Concurrent user license allows you to install IBM SPSS Statistics on any number of computers. However, only the number of users for which you purchased the license can run the application concurrently. A concurrent license manager controls your concurrent user license and allows end users to run IBM SPSS Statistics.

Features include:

Ghosting: You can ghost the software by installing the license manager and then installing the product on a local desktop that will be used for creating the ghosting image. Ghost the additional computers as needed.
Citrix and Terminal Services: You can install and publish the IBM SPSS Statistics application on your Citrix or Terminal Services Server the same way that you install and publish other Windows applications.
Mixed licensing: IBM SPSS Statistics has limited support for a mixed licensing environment (a combination of local authorized user licenses and concurrent licenses). In a typical environment, all licenses are handled locally or through the concurrent license manager.
Multiple operating systems: The platform on which the concurrent license manager is running does not have to match the platform on which the client is running. For example, a Windows license manager can serve up licenses for Mac and Windows clients.
Commuter licenses: Commuter licenses allow your end users to check out licenses from the license manager, so that they can use the license when not connected to the network. On Windows, commuter licenses are not enabled by default. They are enabled by default on other operating systems. Instructions for actually checking out the commuter license appear in the end user installation instructions. You can restrict the percentage of licenses that are enabled for commuting on the license manager server. It's a good idea to restrict commuter licenses to prevent all the licenses (tokens) from being used up by commuters. After the specified percentage of licenses have been used by commuters, no more will be available until the commuter licenses expire or are checked back in. You can also configure the maximum duration for which an end user can check out a license. The default maximum duration is seven days.
Reserve licenses: You can create a reservation file, which specifies how many licenses are reserved for specific users or groups of users. Users are identified by network IDs or computer names (not IP addresses). For example, you can set up a reservation file that reserves the license for a group of power users. Licenses will always be available for these users. You can also use the reservations to prevent certain users from accessing the license.
