The License Authorization Wizard is not a standalone app but a helper component of IBM SPSS Statistics. You cannot update it separately — it is updated whenever you update the parent SPSS Statistics application itself. To check whether your SPSS installation includes a native Apple Silicon build, launch SPSS Statistics and go to Help → About SPSS Statistics; if it shows "Intel" or mentions x86_64 architecture, you are running under Rosetta. IBM has released native Apple Silicon builds of SPSS Statistics, so you should update the main application through IBM's licence portal or your institutional SPSS distribution channel. Contact your SPSS administrator or IBM support to confirm a native build is available for your licence tier and then re-download and install the latest version. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), and an Intel-only build of SPSS will not run on that release.
