- Don't know about US prizes, but in Australia that is a pretty cheap

- You don't need to be a developer to get V37 Includes.

- Yes and Yes, with no problems.

- It says in the manual that you need the details of the previous owner
- and details of the new owner. They will transfer the registration over
- to you.

-
- Here in Australia the deal is as follows:
-
- Brand new SAS/C 6.0 $700
- Student discount $350
- Update from SAS/C 5.xx $175
-
- (The first two prices are approximate, the third is for real)
-
- So as you can see, buying a seconhand 5.1 and upgrading to 6.0 is a
- bargain. And you'll be getting the best there is.
-
- I am very happy with my copy, when the courrier brought it over to
- work I was in a state of shock - the box that it came in was HUGE.
-
- >ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
-
- I hope that sets it straight for you :-)
-
- PS: As usual, no connection with SAS, except being a happy vegemite.
