SPSS Licenses

K-State has an SPSS license program for Microsoft Windows and Mac operating systems. Departments and faculty/staff can lease SPSS through this license. There are two types of licenses, one for Teaching and Research (T&R) and another license for administrative use. The annual SPSS package includes these products:

  • Statistics Base
