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'
