One of the biggest problems we've seen is when people can't launch applications anymore or an app they have running freezes. Often, this is due to a "hung session", which someone in UT has to clear.
To avoid this problem, please be sure to close all of the windows you have open for every application you use in CloudPC. For an app like SPSS, this includes that welcome window that first opens, as well as any and all data sets you open during use.
Closing your browser (or browser tab) or shutting your computer lid is not sufficient to properly disconnect your virtual session.

When using SPSS for one of your classes, you will probably be asked to upload a file to Moodle. These instructions tell you how to save your work from SPSS in CloudPC directly to your computer's hard drive so that you can easily upload the file to Moodle.
Please note: In order to check the file, you will need to open it from within SPSS, through CloudPC. Trying to view the downloaded file on your personal computer will not work as SPSS is not installed on your computer. |
