I used to be able to select the option to perform exact tests in the Crosstabs menu. However, since I renewed the licence the other week this option is no longer visible. I have purchased the program through my University's organisational licence -- Looking at the IBM site it seems that this is now an add on, is this correct? I've asked at the Computer support team at my Uni and they do not seem to know what I mean. I have been using SPSS for several years so am familiar with it but not sure if I am missing something obvious. Thanks for any help you can suggest.

Exact Tests option has always been an add-on module for separate price. You probably did not renew the licence for it. As for Fisher exact test for 2x2 table, it needs not that module and is always displayed with chi-square for 2x2. – ttnphns Nov 24 '11 at 20:06
Issue command SHOW LIC. to see in the output what modules you have installed and when they expire. – ttnphns Nov 24 '11 at 20:13
Hi Thanks for the replies. It did not happen when I renewed the licence last year - I use Fishers regularly - and so am not sure why it has happened now. How do I issue the SHOW LIC command? - when I pasted it in to Output the response was: SHOW LIC end fragment. Apologies if this is a basic question. – jani Nov 24 '11 at 21:07
Type "show license" into syntax and run it. – rolando2 Nov 25 '11 at 1:36
