- Open up the Contents folder.
- Open up the Bin folder.
- Locate and Control Click the file echoid.dat and choose "Open With", and then choose to open it with TextEdit.app (pre-installed on a Mac below Applications\Utilities folder).
- Change the value in the file echoid.dat from 0x010 to 0x004.
- Save the echoid.dat file with same name.
- Delete the current license file LSERVRC file in this directory (if one exists, if not continue).
- Run the License Authorization Wizard of SPSS 26 on /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/26/ while the computer is connected to the internet.
Make sure you see a lock code that begins with 4- on the wizard now.
Use the same 20 digit authorization code you got before.
