PROGRAM OVERVIEW
SAS statistical software provides tools essential for mastering the four data-driven tasks common to virtually any application: data access, management, analysis, and presentation. All within an applications development environment.
The SAS site license allows NMSU employees to install SAS software on licensed NMSU owned computers. Only NMSU faculty, staff, and registered students may use the SAS software. SAS software may be used for NMSU business only. Use of the SAS software for profit, private gain, or other commercial use is illegal.
Home use of SAS software is allowed on a home computer, property of an NMSU faculty/staff employee if the NMSU faculty/staff employee has a licensed SAS software copy installed on their NMSU owned office computer. NMSU/ICT must have a signed Home Use Agreement on file for each faculty/staff person using SAS software at home.
NMSU registered students may purchase a SAS license to be used on their homecomputer. The NMSU student must sign a Student Home Use Agreement.
HOW CAN I GET A LICENSE AND THE SOFTWARE MEDIA?SAS licenses and media are available from the Information & Communication Technologies, Instructional Support Services Department located in the Computer Center Building, Room 143. Licenses & media may be purchased by NMSU faculty/staff with an NMSU departmental account number. Students may purchase licenses & media with cash, check, or money order. An NMSU ID must be presented for all transactions. Please see our Software List for software pricing information.
Faculty/staff may borrow media for a period of three working days at no charge after purchasing a license. If media is borrowed, ICT/ISS will keep your NMSU faculty/staff ID until the software media is returned.
HOW DO I GET UPDATE CODES?SAS software requires that you install update codes annually. If update codes are not installed prior to October 1st each year, your SAS software will no longer work. An annual maintenance fee must be paid prior to requesting update codes.
Unless you cancel your license prior to June 1st, your faculty/staff account number will be billed for annual fees each July. Students must come in to the ICT/ISS office to pay for annual fees.
