Steve and Lori
I got word of this last week.  We've been doing PC upgrades for some
faculty and SPSS works on their old system but we can't get it licensed
on the new PC.

Sean Leahy can probably give more information on this problem.  He wrote
me back yesterday with a new code to use for a few machines.  It was
late in the day when I received it and haven't had a chance to try that
out yet.

Yes, I just reformatted my laptop and cannot get the authorization code
to
work either.  Our tech assistant today was told by the MSU licensing
people
that one of the computer labs on campus was somehow pulling down new
codes
every day and it used up all of the codes assigned to MSU.  I don't
understand that, but he was told that MSU is working on the problem and
that
it will hopefully be solved by the end of the week.  This is not good
news
for those of us who need to use SPSS in the meantime.  It's nice to know
that I'm not the only one who thinks SPSS licensing is a MONSTER to deal
with!

I'm building up a new system for someone whos Dell is sick, and in the
process of installing SPSS, I find I can't.
After I type in the code, I get


     Error Code: 106
     
      You are not allowed to generate any more new licenses.

      Express2LS

      Lock code: 4-21036
      Authorization Code: <the msu code i have>



Has anyone else seen this?  It certainly sounds to me like the SPSS
licensing monster is having problems at the moment.
Can anyone shed light on this?

Thanks, STeve Andre'
