Software
The SPSS site license for UC Davis has been expanded
to now include SPSS for the
Macintosh, version 11, which can be ordered via the SPSS order
form:
http://www.ssds.ucdavis.edu/spss.html
The price of the Mac version is the same
as the Windows version ($143/year),
and includes the same modules except for AMOS (unavailable
for the Mac).
The license will run over the same time period as the Windows
license
(11/30-12/1) and the first year will be prorated.
If you have any questions about features,
system requirements, or the
differences between the Windows and Macintosh versions of
SPSS, consult the
SPSS home page: http://www.spss.com |
