IBM SPSS Version 21 Installation and Registration
The following set of instructions will walk you through installing IBM SPSS Statistics
Version 21 on your computer. Version 21 is not supported on Windows 10. If your
computer runs on Windows 10, it is recommended that you install SPSS Version 23.
A visual tutorial is also available - http://mym.cdn.laureatemedia.com/2dett4d/Walden/software/IBM/SPSS/Docs/New%20Folder/SPSS_Install_Wi
ndows.htm
We suggest that you first obtain the SPSS license code before you begin
downloading SPSS. Obtain the SPSS license code from this link:
http://ezp.waldenulibrary.org/limited/spsslicense.html You will need to enter your
Walden user name and password if you are not already logged into the Library or
Blackboard.
Simply copy and paste the code into a Word document so that you have it available
when prompted to enter it at the end of the installation sequence. You can always enter
the code later; however, having it on hand to enter during the installation is much easier.
SPSS Statistics software installation link for the MAC and Windows is given below.
Access the appropriate installation link depending on your operating system (Windows
or Mac):
Windows 32-bit install (most common): http://mym.cdn.laureatemedia.com/2dett4d/software/IBM/SPSS/win_version/32/SPSS_Statistics_21_win32_.ex
e
Windows 64-bit install - http://mym.cdn.laureatemedia.com/2dett4d/Walden/software/IBM/SPSS/win_version/SPSS_Statistics_21_win6
4_.exe
Not sure which if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Operating System? Access
Microsoft’s page for further clarification.
This installation requires at least 1GB of free space on your computer. Because of the
large size of the installation file, it is recommended that you are on a DSL or better
internet connection. Even with a strong internet connection, the installation may still take
up to 30 minutes or longer. While the tool is installing, you may continue to work within
other applications on your computer.
Does your course require SPSS AMOS? If yes, access the install link and license code.
