Installation

Step 1. The S-PLUS 7.0 CD is associated with a serial number which is linked to your license authorization code, both of which are obtained from the ITC licensing database. The license authorization code is used to generate your unique license keys which are required to run S-PLUS.

Unless you wish to install additional modules, you are now ready to re-enable your virus protection and run S-PLUS.  Note:  For certain S-PLUS processes, for example when activating a java.graph device from within S-PLUS, the Windows Firewall may issue a pop-window with a security alert similar to the one below.  You can select to unblock S-PLUS 7.0.
