Update: Most SPSS instances restored – Outage: SPSS Software in Labs – 4/17/18-4/18/18

Update 4/19/18:

Most of the SPSS instances have been restored.  (They may remain a couple instructor workstations that have not been configured, due to the availability of the workstation.)

Original post:

During the day on 4/17/18 reports from students in our computer labs indicated that SPSS 19 was no longer functioning.  CapIT discovered that version 19 of SPSS that Capital has been using is no longer supported and that the software could not communicate with the IBM’s host licensing server.  A temporary work around is being developed and will be deployed during the day on Wednesday, (4/18) that should remedy the issue, and keep SPSS v19 working until the end of the Spring term.  During the summer, CapIT will need to implement the latest version of SPSS v24/25.

Faculty and instructors should plan their course content around the SPSS v24/25 for the Fall 2018 term.  For more information and a link the SPSS community, please see the following: https://developer.ibm.com/predictiveanalytics/
