Enterprise Guide for Dummies question

[jess]

Hello:
I am writing from SFU in the Vancouver area.
This university has been permitted to make
SAS 9.1.3 and Enterprise Reporter 9.1available for
student use.
I ordered the SAS Dummies Book by Chris and
Stephen, can anyone indicate if there is a temporary
free trial of SAS Enterprise Guide so I can work
through this book since program not available through
the university.
Any advice on source of a demo version gratefully accepted.
Sincerely, Jess

Hi:
There is a difference between Enterprise Reporter and Enterprise Guide. I assume you mean SAS Enterprise Guide.

Students can get copies of the SAS Learning Edition at a discount in order to learn SAS and SAS Enterprise Guide, as described here:
http://support.sas.com/learn/le/
and as a student, you are able to purchase a downloadable version of SAS Learning Edition for a discounted price through e-Academy. This offer is for the software only (no book):
http://support.sas.com/learn/le/start_student.html

Here's the e-Academy web site:
http://estore.e-academy.com/index.cfm?loc=SAS/main

The SAS Learning Edition includes a copy of SAS Enterprise Guide, as described here:

Before buying Learning Edition or the other possible solutions that Cynthia mentioned, check with your SFU computer support people. It may be that you already have a license for EG, but IT is not distributing it with SAS 9.1.3 (Our IT does not include it in the standard student distribution -- it involves a separate install, 2 additional CDs, and is not (yet) Vista aware.).

Thanks, Doc for qualifying my answer. I completely forgot to mention the Vista issue.
