For SAS and JMP licensing information, including options and prices, visit the SLIC Software List. The West Virginia University Software License Information Center (SLIC) sells annual subscriptions for SAS and JMP that expire on September 30th of every year. To update your license, you first must purchase a new license and then apply the new license files. If you have not purchased a new license yet, visit the Software for Personally Owned Computers article.
