As far as I know, there is not free trail. However, they have a learning
edition (http://support.sas.com/learn/le/); it may also be worth
purchasing it as part of a self-paced learning course. Some universities
and colleges also sell student versions of SAS, that may be an option
depending on your circumstances.

Hi,

I'm soon to start a job that would use SAS for statistical analysis,
having never used or seen the program before I was hoping to be able
to download a '30-day free' trial version to play around with before I
start. Looking on the SAS website-support-downloads section I'm not
sure what to download or if in fact its possible to download a trial
version of the program at all. Any guidance is much appreciated

Thanks

Paul
