SPSS - Statistics and Analysis Software

Current information:

The SPSS instructions below are provisional, as the AcademicSoftware portal is still undergoing some changes. The appearance of the portal interface may change.

As of January 14, 2024:

  • Problems with SPSS on the MacOS 14 operating system 
    • We cannot fix these; please contact IBM support.
  • Older Mac operating systems are also experiencing problems with the current SPSS version 29
  • There are workarounds in the Internet, which require setting changes deep within the operating system of a device. 
    • Please do not change any such settings on university inventory devices.
    • We also warn against this for private devices.
  • Version 30, awaited since late December 2023, should fix the problems.
