How to fix a 'no valid license' error message
​

IBM has confirmed a problem with licensing for SPSS Amos. When running Amos on a laptop or personal device, a 'License Validation' box appears stating 'No valid license for Amos was found.'.

Please follow this work-around method:
  1. Run 'IBM SPSS Amos License Authorization Wizard' from the Windows Start menu.
  2. When the 'IBM SPSS Amos Licensing' window opens, select [Next] on the 'License Status' page.
  3. On the 'Product Authorization' page, select [Next].
  4. On the 'Enter Codes' page, add the Amos code issued to you in the 'Enter Code' box and then select [Add].
  5. The code will appear in the box below, then select [Next].
  6. The 'Internet Authorization Status' page will display in red text that the authorization has failed, select [Next].
  7. From the 'License Authorization via Email' page, select [Copy] to copy the message to the clipboard, then select [Finish].
  8. Start/compose a new email message. Paste the copied text into the message body.
  9. Check that the recipient is '[email protected]' and that the subject is 'License Authorization'.
  10. Send the message and await an automated response - this should only take a moment.
  11. When you receive the response, select and copy the whole line of text containing the license string (as indicated in the message).
  12. Re-run the License Authorization Wizard (steps 1 to 5 above), this time paste the copied license string into the 'Enter Code' box.
  13. The 'License Installation Status' page should now indicate success in green text, select [Next].
  14. Select [Finish] on the 'Licensing Completed' page.
  15. You should now be able to use Amos.
