  • Sharing an Authorization Code with multiple users is prohibited.
  • Sharing an Authorization Code with multiple computer lab devices is prohibited.

Example:

The department should purchase eight SPSS licenses, one for each of the employees' primary devices and the five shared lab devices. The employee's desktop device can be licensed using their specific Authorization Code since the device is used exclusively by the employee.
