Question & Answer
Question
Why can I Remote Desktop Protocol to SPSS Modeler on a Windows Server without error, but not with SPSS Statistics?
Cause
Currently, both IBM SPSS Modeler and SPSS Statistics bundled with Predictive Customer Intelligence require the procurement and use of a concurrent license when using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on a Windows Server. SPSS Modeler does not do a verification check when using Terminal Services to launch the program through RDP whereas SPSS Statistics does and therefore you will receive an error message.
Error # 2084
The license for IBM SPSS Statistics is not valid on a computer running NT Terminal Server.
Answer
To ensure you can use both SPSS Modeler and Statistics with RDP on a Windows Server without error or license violation, please ensure you have a concurrent license. The following link points to a related technote on how to procure and use a concurrent license:
