How to License SAS

When ordering, please remember these important details:

• You are responsible for verifying the hardware and software requirements on any computer on which SAS is to be installed.

• 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 at an additional $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 at an additional $30.
