FAQs

Sales & Licensing

Need a price quote? Want to inquire about licensing? Or interested in learning more about how you can partner with SAS? We can help.

How is SAS licensed and priced?

It depends.  We have pricing by users, pricing by core capacity, pricing by total revenue, pricing by transactions, and many more metrics.  Not all pricing frameworks apply to all SAS offerings.  Pricing may also be different for SaaS, on-premises, cloud, and others.  Prices can start as low as $1500 per user (for select offerings with restrictions), as low as $10,000 for core capacity (for select offerings), and up to multiple millions for a full-blown implementation of our solutions.  Wherever you are in your analytics journey SAS can help determine the software you need and a price that fits your budget. A SAS account representative can help you find the licensing option that is best suited for your situation.

How can I request a price quote?
