Access SPSS

  1. Go to https://myapps.microsoft.com

  2. Look for two items:
    • SPSS AppStream (Instant) --  Quick session start, use during scheduled labs. Not available at other times.

    • SPSS AppStream -- 2-3 minute wait for start, available at all times.

  4. Once started, your session should look like this -- this is SPSS running in a virtual Microsoft Windows server:

Save Your Work

Be sure any work that you want saved in one of the two storage options described below!
(Home Folder or Google Drive)

Storage - Home Folder

When saving and opening files, you can use the special "Home Folder".  This area persists across all AppStream sessions.

If you need to upload to the Home Folder from your own computer:

Storage - Google Drive

  • Perform the one-time linking -- after clicking Add Storage, select Google Drive, and then login with your URI Google credentials.

  • Once linked, the Google Drive option will appear for opening and saving files.  Future AppStream sessions will not need to re-link to Google Drive.

  • Getting files in and out of Google Drive continues to be like how you would normally use Google Drive independently of SPSS AppStream -- browse to drive.google.com and use your URI credentials.

Ending Your Session

There are no special directions for ending your SPSS AppStream session.  You can just close your browser window / tab.

If you are using a public / shared / lab computer be sure to log yourself out of any accounts!
