SPIRES became the primary database management system for Stanford University business and student services in the 1980s and 1990s. It was also adopted by about two dozen other universities, including installations using the [[Michigan Terminal System]] (MTS), and [[VM/CMS]]. These universities collaborated through annual meetings of the SPIRES Consortium.

In 2004, SPIRES was migrated off the mainframe onto Unix platforms by means of ana System/360 emulator developed by Dick Guertin. The DBMS now runs on [[Unix]], [[Linux]] or [[macOS]] and is available under [[Mozilla Public License]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://web.stanford.edu/group/spires/uspires/ |title=Stanford Unix-SPIRES |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701182838/https://web.stanford.edu/group/spires/uspires/ |archive-date=2015-07-01 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
