SPSS 16.0 is REALLY buggy, even after installing the 16.0.1 patch and the
three existing hot fixes. Save yourself some hassle, and wait a while
before upgrading from 15.0. I've wasted most of a day already this week
just trying to get it to work properly. As per SPSS tech support, more hot
fixes are in the works; they know there are a lot of problems to be
resolved.
I had to use the email authorization; the Internet authorization does not
work.

I know this sounds a little weird, but I haven't been able to
install and authorize SPSS16 yet. SPSS15, fine, but not 16.
What happens is during the authorization, I get a delay of
about 30 seconds, and then an error message saying that
the authorization was denied. Not terribly useful.
Perhaps I didn't notice it before, but I got what looked like
a Java JRE error message. All the machines I tried this on
were patched XP systems.
Is there a requirement for some level of Java now that I
didn't clue in on, for SPSS? Or is SPSS torturing me just
because it can... ?
tnx, STeve Andre'
