Hi:
All students who get a SAS OnDemand for Academics account get access to SAS Studio as an interface to learn SAS. Other client applications, like JMP, SAS Forecast Studio, SAS Enterprise Miner and SAS Enterprise Guide are only available to students who are invited to a sponsored class that is using SAS OnDemand resrouces for the academic class. Free accounts for independent students do not have access to these other applications.
SAS Studio on the OnDemand server is the most current version 3.8 and it is accessing SAS version 9.4M7. So when you set up your SAS OnDemand account, if you are an independent user, you will have the most current version of SAS Studio.
