How to Obtain This Software
Students
Stony Brook students can access SPSS at no charge from any of the TLT-managed SINC Sites on campus and the Virtual SINC Site, or by direct download through Softweb.
If students are interested in renting their own six or 12-month licenses, they can go to OnTheHub.com for special academic discount options. Academic verification is required, so students must use an @stonybrook.edu email address when creating their OnTheHub.com account. Once their Stony Brook University academic affiliation is confirmed, students may rent and download the license that suits their needs. OnTheHub.com accepts PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and American Express for payment.
Faculty/Staff
SPSS is available at no charge to faculty, staff, and students through the Virtual SINC Site, or by direct download through Softweb.
Commuter Licenses
Commuter licensing allows you to use a temporary network license for SPSS on a computer that is not connected to the Stony Brook network. Commuter Licenses are available for 7 days, but using the following steps, you can extended the Commuter License to 30 days. This has been tested on Windows (PC) clients ONLY.
In Windows (PC) on the SPSS client, edit: "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\22\spssprod.inf"
Change "CommuterMaxLife=X" to "CommuterMaxLife=30"
Check out your Commuter License for 30 days
