Future support on non persistent VDI platform

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In the past year, I get the sense that there is a growing demand for VDI platform for SPSS. the VMWare Horizon seems to be more common.

I have encountered an issue with Stats v. 28.0.1.1 when installing it on a non-persistent VDI platform:

It seems that when the master image is being deployed on the new VDI, the first launch of Stats may take 10-15 minutes to load. specifically, the C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Roaming\IBM SPSS Statistics path is not persistent in such a scenario.

also, there were more issues in that environment- when using a concurrent network license you can license the master image successfully to get a license token from the Sentinel LM installed on the license server. alas if you deploy this Master image in a new VDI upon the first launch the program will prompt a license wizard session and the end-user will have to reconnect his session to the License Server.
