Overview

SMU has acquired a site license for SAS Foundation and SAS JMP Professional for all faculty, staff and students.  The software is availble for download on any personal Windows and Linux machines for academic use.

Getting Started

Please follow all instructions very closely.  Connect your computer to a power source as the installation can take up to several hours depending on the components chosen and the network connection.  Be sure to backup existing libraries or directories where your current SAS files are saved.  If you currently have SAS 9.1 or a previous version installed, it is strongly recommended that you uninstall those versions before installing the new version.  If you have SAS 9.2, you can leave that program installed so you can migrate your data.
