The irony of the search for illegal codes is that legitimate, affordable options often exist. Most universities provide SPSS to students for free or at a massive discount through "GradPack" versions. Additionally, the rise of open-source alternatives like jamovi , JASP , or R provides powerful, free, and legal tools that perform the same functions as SPSS without the legal baggage.
While not free, this option is far cheaper than the perpetual license. IBM introduced a starting around $99 USD/month (educational discounts available). For short-term needs (e.g. a semester project or thesis), this costs less than a textbook.
Jamovi and JASP allow you to run t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and factor analysis in a few clicks — no license code required. Both can directly read .sav files from old SPSS projects.
