This article covers how faculty can renew their SPSS license. This does not apply to students, who use the concurrent license. Students using the concurrent license will not have to do anything to renew the license.

To renew your license, fill out the SPSS Authorized License request. You must be logged in with your CNU account to fill out the form.

Then, run the SPSS License Wizard. Older versions will have it in the Start menu on Windows or Launchpad/Applications on a Mac. On Version 28, you'll need to choose Manage License from the File menu.
