The biggest hassle I've encountered with SPSS 16.0, once I finally maneuvered through their nightmarish mess of serial number, lock code, authorization code, and 93-digit (!!!!!) license code and after doing a complete install of the software, patch, and hot fixes twice on my Dell Optiplex was that I cannot get my SPSS output to print to any printer or PDF file without getting all jumbled up. VERY frustrating... I'm not sure from where SPSS is recruiting software engineers, but the ones they're recruiting are not living in my reality.

Well, at least we have the 15 reauth codes, so I think I'm going to do what you suggest, and wait. Why is it that SPSS gets a little more strange with each release?
