License Period: Jan. 1 – Dec. 31

*NOTICE* Price increase beginning January 1, 2025

Dear Minitab Users,

As we review data for our January 1st Minitab renewal, we need to inform you of a significant change in the licensing cost. Due to a reduced number of users and an increase in license costs, the cost per license will rise substantially.

In past years, the Minitab license was priced at $55 with approximately 100 users. However, we are now down to less than 15 users, causing the renewal cost to be split among fewer users. When Minitab renews on January 1, 2025, we anticipate the cost per license to be $560. While this is still less than the $1851 retail price, we understand it is a significant increase.

We want to ensure you are aware of several alternatives available through MU DoIT Software Sales to Minitab for statistical analysis that are more cost-effective:

1. OriginPro: Widely used for data analysis and graphing in scientific research.
2. IBM SPSS Statistics: A comprehensive statistical software package used for data management and analysis.
3. Tableau: A powerful data visualization tool that also offers some statistical analysis capabilities.

Each of these tools has its own strengths and may be more suitable depending on your specific needs and preferences. We recommend researching a tool that will best fit your needs.
