Troubleshooting
Problem
You have Statistics for Windows, version 11.0 or later, and I have installed the Custom Tables module. When you are running the TABLES command in an SPSS syntax window, You receive the following message: Error #7007: There is no license for SPSS Tables. This command not executed. How do you fix this problem?
Resolving The Problem
SPSS introduced the Custom Tables module starting with version 11.0. Although the original Tables and Custom Tables modules are designed to provide you with customized crosstabulation output, the engines (and subsequently, the syntax) are quite different. Most likely, when you installed your latest version of SPSS for Windows, you installed the Custom Tables module but not the original SPSS Tables module. Therefore, when you ran the old TABLES command syntax, SPSS looked for the old Tables module, could not find it, and returned the error message.
To verify which Tables modules you have installed, type
SHOW LICENSE.
in a syntax window and execute it. SPSS will list the modules that you have installed. Do you see a reference to Tables or Custom Tables in the output? If you see only Custom Tables, then you have not installed the old Tables module.
SPSS, release 12.0 for Windows and later, has a script called SyntaxConverter.sbs. This script can take command files that have TABLES commands and re-write them to CTABLES commands.
You may also contact SPSS Sales to see about possibly getting a license code that would include the old Tables modules. Please contact SPSS Sales at 800/543-2185 for more information on this option
