Issues can arise from running older versions such as incompatible ODBC driver connection and operating software updates. If you are not on a supported version of SPSS then you will receive no support from IBM even if you have a current support contract. IT will usually want software to be on the best support programme with the developer. Our support team are happy to help in this situation to save you the hours you might otherwise lose trying to resolve the issue
#SPSS 16 UPDATE CODE#
Once you have your code and IBM have released it from the previous machine there is still another hurdle – finding the installation files for your old version of SPSS. Some users will no longer have access to this information or the original purchaser may have left the organisation and the details may have been lost. We have had a lot of users request help with finding their codes but in these circumstances there is little we can do. If you are unsupported or running an out of support version then IBM would require a purchase reference number or the original code used to activate the software. These issues can be complex to resolve without a support contract and a supported version of SPSS.
#SPSS 16 UPDATE LICENSE#
This could range from simple computer crashes where the license needs moving to a new machine, to the software ceasing to function due to Windows/MacOS updates. If SPSS software is critical for your organisation, then running on the latest version – or at least a version which is still supported by IBM (currently IBM will support versions which are up to 5 years old) – provides peace of mind should anything unexpected happen. There’s more information here about how the functionality of SPSS has developed over the last few versions. So, the latest version will have the most cutting edge tools to analyse your data and it will also have also been developed to run on the latest operating systems making it faster and more efficient. With each new version come new functions and analysis techniques which users have asked IBM to include.
#SPSS 16 UPDATE UPGRADE#
Upgrade to take advantage of the latest functionality If you fall in to the final category, why should you consider an upgrade? There are a few reasons why we’d always recommend running the latest version of SPSS if you can. Some will have cancelled the maintenance on their perpetual contract and will be happily running an old version – sometimes so old that the version is no longer supported by IBM Some will upgrade every few years because the process is reasonably time intensive for their particular set up and they are happy running a version out, safely in the knowledge that they are still in support. Some will upgrade as soon as they feasibly can – either due to IT policy or because they would like to be on the latest, most developed version of SPSS software.

In terms of eagerness to upgrade, our customers fall in to a few categories: With v28 of IBM SPSS Statistics just released, should you consider an upgrade if you are running an unsupported version of SPSS?
