Why are SAS and SPSS products pro-rated?
A We pro-rate the initial SAS and SPSS license purchase in order to keep the license renewal dates uniform for each product. The renewal of the license is not pro-rated because they all begin and end at the same time. Q Can I upgrade my SAS or SPSS license if an upgraded or new version becomes available? A Yes, if an upgrade or new version to SAS or SPSS becomes available, the license upgrade is free of cost. However, the upgrade does require the purchase of the new version CD/media, and the upgrade CD/media must be ordered by the original license holder.
