It's for sure.
SAS的某些模块可以规整规整用某些主机(大型机?) You need to get an account from IT department of company and get permission to access the server. Then login the server and do all activities in the access rights of a combination of W, R, X.
You need intranet or internet to help you.
SAS just counts copies or clients to determine the price like other companies Mathematica(expensive), Matlab(cheaper), Oracle.
Single PC SAS (like you talked), it counts numbers of machine. You should pay for every machine. Also different packages cost different. For example, Genetics package, even in research hospital or universities, you need to spend more than $1000US for each copy for only this package.
As I know it's much cheaper for universities license than that bought in the name of individuals. I think they can negotiate with SAS company.
By the way, what guys in the upstair talked about is absolutely ILLEGAL in here. Company will get big troubles.
