Retrieve SPSS lock code Mac/Windows

It is very important to identify what specific lock code to reset. In this regard, we can do it in two different ways: 
  1. You know the old lock code and tell us which is the lock code to reset. 
  2. You identify on which computer you have installed SPSS and is still in use. Then we discard the UNUSED code. You can identify the lock code by following the steps below
On Mac:
  1. Open "Finder", select "Applications" on the left.
  2. In the list of applications, you will see a folder called "IBM SPSS Statistics ..". Click on the arrow to extend the names in the folder.
  3. In that folder, you will see a program called "SPSS Statistics License Authorization Wizard".
    Double-click the License Authorization Wizard Icon.
On Windows:
  1. Press "Start" button, select "All Programs/All Apps".
  2. In the list of programs, you will see a folder called "IBM SPSS Statistics ..". Click on the arrow to extend the names in the folder.
  3. In that folder, he will see a program called "IBM SPSS Statistics License Authorization Wizard".
    ​Right-click the License Authorization Wizard icon, and select Run As Administrator.
​Please see the example screenshots.
​After running the Licensing Authorization Wizard in the "Product Authorization" Step you will find the information of the lock code.
​As soon we have clarified this information, we can go ahead with and reset the unused license of SPSS and get a new activation.
