SAS Site License Information
Attention: Regardless of when you make your purchase, this year’s SAS license will expire on August 31, 2009. The program will not run after the license has expired.
This date is fixed by SAS and cannot be pro–rated. If you would like to receive an entire year’s usage, you must wait until August 31, 2009 to purchase the following year’s license (9/1/2009 – 8/31/2010).
In addition, you must verify SAS version compatibility with your computer(s) prior to ordering.
SAS orders cannot be refunded once the online form has been submitted.
The CUMC IT Service Desk provides this license as a service to the Columbia University Medical Center community. Potential licensees should refer to the policies regarding SAS and SPSS licensing at CUMC. Whenever possible, the Service Desk will answer questions about the installation and use of SAS. However the licensee is responsible for the installation and for understanding and maintaining his/her own hardware and operating system.
Cost, Payment, and License Period
The current dates of the license are 9/1/08 through 8/31/09. The price is fixed by SAS and will not be pro-rated. The software will not run after the license expires.
All new licensees and those choosing to upgrade to a newer version of SAS must purchase an installation kit in addition to the license(s). NOTE: Kits for the next licensing period are expected to return to the large binder with full installation documentation.

NOTE: Unix machines are priced by the number of CPUs in the computer rather than by licenses. The number of CPUs depends on the make and model of the Unix box you are using. You must provide us with that information in order for us to determine the price for the license. The cost is $575 per CPU. In addition, server pricing for any platform will be calculated by the number of CPUs.
How to License SAS
When ordering, please remember these important details:
If your computer already has an expired version of SAS installed and you wish to just continue running this same version, you must purchase a renewal license for the same version of SAS that is currently on your computer.
If you would like to install SAS on a computer that does not currently have SAS, you must purchase a new license AND pick up an installation kit (SAS 9.1.3's installation kit is an additional fee of $96; SAS 9.2's installation media is $30).
If you would like to upgrade the version of SAS that is currently running on your computer, you must purchase a new license AND pick up an installation kit (SAS 9.1.3's installation kit is an additional fee of $96; SAS 9.2's installation media is $30).
