Welcome to the SmartPLS Community, SmartPLS is a software application for (graphical) path modeling with latent variables (LVP). The partial least squares (PLS)-method is used for the LVP-analysis in this software. SmartPLS’ team of developers is sited at the University of Hamburg (Germany), School of Business. In the download area, the first beta-version is accessible (free of charge). A registration is required! The following new features are presented in the new release SmartPLS 2.0 (beta):
Step 1 Register with your TRUE IDENTITY in the SmartPLS Forum. You receive an E-Mail with your USERNAME and PASSWORD. Step 2 Your registration is CHECKED by the administrators. If approved (this is usually the case) your profile is ACTIVATED and you receive another E-Mail with your ACTIVATION KEY for the SmartPLS 2 software application. Step 3 Log into the SmartPLS Forum (with your USERNAME and PASSWORD) and get the SmartPLS 2 software application, sample data files, sample models as well as a video based user manual in the DOWNLOAD area. Step 4 INSTALL/UNZIP the application on your computer system and START it. For the first start, you need to copy and paste your ACTIVATION KEY (that you received via E-Mail) into the SmartPLS 2 activation window. Why register? The SmartPLS community platform hosts different forums in order to provide information on SmartPLS and PLS-based LVP. These forums are not accessible for non registered persons. We insist on a “real world” user identity to ensure the professional and profound exchange of information. Register now, it’s free! Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group  132 blocked attacks |
