Software Sales
SAS
License Period: May 31 through May 30
Note Upcoming Price Increase 05/31/2025:
As we reviewed data for our upcoming renewal, we realized that due to a reduced number of users and an increase in license costs, the cost per license would rise substantially. In the last year, the SAS license was priced at $140 with over 300 users. However, we are now down to less than 200 users, causing the renewal cost to be split among fewer users. When SAS renews on May 31, 2025, the cost per license will increase to $265.50. While this is still less than the $1500 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 SAS for statistical analysis that are more cost-effective:
OriginPro: Widely used for data analysis and graphing in scientific research.
IBM SPSS Statistics: A comprehensive statistical software package used for data management and analysis.
Microsoft PowerBI: User-friendly interface for self-service data analysis.
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.
SAS provides tools essential for mastering the four data-driven tasks common to virtually any application: data access, management, analysis and presentation. For users who need the software infrequently, SAS is available at no charge to MU faculty and staff using Software Anywhere. SAS is ONLY AVAILABLE FOR WINDOWS.
