Warning
titleImportant Information Regarding Data Protection

If you work with any files that contain protected information (PHI or PII), you must take extra steps to ensure the information remains secure.  Essentially the drive where the files are stored must be encrypted and/or have access restrictions.

  1. The safest option is to only store your SPSS data files on your JHU U:\ drive. Please see this KB article for reference https://wiki.nursing.jhu.edu/x/mABBAw
  2. If you choose to store files with protected information on your local computer, then the hard drive in your machine MUST be encrypted.
  3. Another option is to utilize an encrypted external hard drive or flash drive. There are several options for this discussed in this KB article https://wiki.nursing.jhu.edu/x/tIBzB 

If you need help determining which option is best for you, please contact the SON Help Desk.

How to install a School of Nursing Licensed version of SPSS

...

STOP AND READ THIS! This notice is being placed here because too many students are missing step #1 below and do not realize that the JH Pulse Secure VPN must be connected while using the SPSS software off campus, not just while installing it. If you receive a message the reads, "Error #7001. There is no license for IBM SPSS Statistics" or a similar message, it is most likely because you have not connected your machine to the JH VPN prior to launching SPSS.


  1. If you are offsite (i.e. not on Hopkins campus), launch / Install JHPulse and establish a VPN connection. The VPN connection is required while BOTH installing AND using/running the SPSS software.
  2. Download installation files to computer from here
    1. SPSS_Statistics_27_mac.pkg - Mac
    2. SPSS_Statistics_27.exe - Windows
  3. Install IBM SPSS Statistics Client 27.0
  4. After install run the License Authorization Wizard
    1. Product Authorization = Concurrent user license
    2. License manager name = spssls.nursing.jhu.edu
