I need to test calling a SAS database from a .NET application, preferably using NHibernate as ORM. How do I setup up a trial version of SAS for testing on my machine, is it even possible? Seems to me there are very many components to install and I can’t find any trial version.
The only way to get a trial version of SAS is to contact SAS directly. It’s not available to be downloaded or installed without a license. SAS does offer 30-day trial copy (and because of software “dies” 90 days after expiration, you really have four months to test).
If you choose to get a trial copy, be sure to discuss your target application requirements. Opening SAS data from .NET requires a component called the IOM server, which is part of either the
SAS Enterprise BI Serveror theSAS Integration Technologiessoftware. However, if your application only needs to READ SAS data sets, you might consider other solutions. If you want to go that route, ask a new question.Here is a link with several SAS notes on .NET programming with SAS.
