SAS Software Site Licenses

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.

SAS is an enterprise-wide license available to all faculty and staff (as well as Grad students with a implicit need).

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 only be used for teaching, academic research purposes. Teaching and Research purposes are limited to classroom instruction and coursework directly related to customer’s post-secondary degree requirements, including the formulation of theses and dissertations, and NMSU employee’s noncommercial research activities. Software licensed for T&R purposes may be used by NMSU employees and Students 

Use of the SAS software for profit, private gain, or other commercial use is against our terms of service.

HOW CAN I GET A LICENSE AND THE SOFTWARE MEDIA? 

SAS can be downloaded from a temporary download link. You can request a download link by emailing software@nmsu.edu. SAS is a very large download and you will need to have a good stable connection in order to download the software.

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. Updates files will not be sent automatically, they must be requested. To request update files please email software@nmsu.edu and provide the SAS version you are using and whether your computer is a 32-bit or 64-bit system.

Update codes are available after September 1st each year. Send email to software@nmsu.edu to request update codes.
