Virtually via LUapps  LUapps is a virtual software delivery system that allows users to access a variety of software titles.  In most cases, the software available via LUapps is the newest version available.  The SPSS License is renewed each year on October 1, so if a newer version becomes available at that time, it will be upgraded during the winter break.

Local Installation:  For heavier users of SPSS, or those seeking a specific, older version, installing the software on your computer locally may be a more convenient or higher-performance option.  Follow the instructions in Install IBM SPSS Statistics on Windows or macOS and Activate IBM SPSS Statistics.
