SPSS v13 for Mac available

Posted by Jay Savage on 15th September 2006

By popular demand, SPSS Mac (13) is again available to all interested faculty in the Faculty Technology Centers. See our Site Licensed Software page for details.

WARNING:

SPSS 13 is not a universal binary and WILL NOT RUN CORRECTLY ON INTEL MACS. There is an incompatibility with Rosetta emulation that results in some computations returning incorrect results.

If you have an Intel Mac, you should consider running SPSS v14 for Windows under BootCamp, or look for an alternative. SPSS v15 for Mac, which will be Intel-compatible, will not be available until sometime in mid-2007.
