SPSS Amos

This user guide helps you to install and license SPSS Amos.

Note

The software is not free. You can order it from AcadCloud.
If you have downloaded the software in a ZIP archive, unpack the files to your hard disk before the installation. To do so, copy the files in the ZIP archive to a folder on your hard disk or right-click the ZIP file and select Extract All....
Using the authorisation code that you received, you can activate SPSS Amos only once and only on one device.
If a network licence or an older version of the program is already installed on your device, you have to uninstall it first.
Make sure your firewall or any other software does not prevent the communication with the licence server.
You only need an Internet connection to license the software, but not to operate it.
An additional registration on the websites of SPSS is not necessarily required.
After the installation, you may not change the system date of your computer anymore.
The licence expires one year after you activated it. Afterwards, you have to obtain a new licence.
