Setting up remote access involves installing the VPN client and setting up the remote version of SPSS.
Please note, you will need to sign in to the VPN client each time before you use SPSS.

1)      Install VPN Client: To be able to download the remote version of SPSS, you will first need to install the VPN client. VPN will allow you to sign on to the University network from home as if you were on-campus. You will also need to login to the VPN client first, every time before you run the remote version of SPSS. Each time you sign onto VPN, you will remain signed into the University network for about 4 hours. After that time, the connection will disconnect and you will need to sign into the VPN client again.  Follow this link for directions on installing the VPN client on your computer: https://www.mnstate.edu/information-technology/services/vpn/
