PLEASE 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 the install completes run the License Authorization Wizard
    1. Product Authorization = Concurrent user license
    2. License manager name = spssls.nursing.jhu.edu

IBM SPSS is licensed for use on a timed basis (i.e., it is leased). The cost is very reasonable compared to a full retail license.  Before you rent, decide how long you will need to have access to the software, and purchase the appropriate rental duration (6 month or 12 month). The software stops working after the lease expires, unless an additional license fee is paid.   PLEASE NOTE the instructions below might vary slightly as the vendor makes changes to their site.

  1. Visit the JHU OnTheHub site:  http://jhujh.onthehub.com
  2. You should be directed to the SiteMinder authentication page. Log in with your JHEDID@jh.edu and Password.After logging in, you should see a tab for either "Faculty/Staff" or "Student" (or both, if applicable). Search a page to create an account. when validating eligibility, be sure to enter your address as JHEDID@jh.edu (note NOT jhu.edu).
  3. After completing the account creation process and logging in, search for SPSS. Students should choose "IBM SPSS Statistics Standard GradPack" (Standard is recommended over the Base package).
  4. You must choose the version of SPSS you want to download, either Windows or Mac. Note that a purchase of one version does not allow you to use it on a different platform, so be sure you get the version that is appropriate for your computer.
  5. Click the "Add to Cart" button for the version that you wish to purchase, then follow the instructions to check out and pay for the software.
  6. When purchasing the software, you will be given the option to purchase "extended access" to the software, which will allow you to download the software at a later time if needed (for example, if you purchase a new computer and need to reinstall the software). If you keep a copy of the downloaded installation files AND the activation code somewhere safe, you should not need to purchase extended access.
  7. Follow the installation instructions carefully. After installing the software, you MUST enter the activation code for the software to be properly licensed. Otherwise, your software will stop working, and if you didn't keep a copy of the activation code, you may be forced to purchase extended access to retrieve the activation code.
