Hi tmiask12,
The scenario you are describing sounds like you are seeing a blank Output Viewer window and blank Data Editor window. Is there also a splash screen indicating that your IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 product is not licensed?
It has happened for some users in the past where a working version of SPSS Statistics needs to be re-licensed after upgrading the macOS underneath it. To re-license your product, run the 'SPSS Statistics License Authorization Wizard.app' you'll find just above the 'SPSSStatistics.app' in your 'Applications ->IBM->SPSS->Statistics->26' menu path.
Here's how to fix the SPSS installation issue on macOS 10.15 Catalina - after the latest Apple update. Expand this video description for details on how to fi. Spss For Mac Catalina Freeware; Spss For Mac Os Catalina Free; Spss For Mac Catalina Free Download; Spss For Mac Catalina Free Download; Operating System: Mojave (macOS 10.14), Catalina (macOS 10.15), or Big Sur (macOS 11) Hard Disk Space: 500 MB (minimum) free space available Connectivity: An internet connection is required for activation of trial and single-user licenses.
If re-licensing the product fails to work for you, please go to the IBM Support site and open a Support case so they can help you troubleshoot the problem.
