Yep.

I have not looked in a while, but the last time that I checked on SAS
pricing (for a single user under Windows), it was in the neighborhood of
$5,000 U.S. per year to include BASE, STAT and GRAPH, which are the
three core components that you would need for a "complete" package.

Keep in mind that the SAS licensing is annual and requires renewal or
the product will not function beyond the license term. The pricing is
really out of the range of personal use and even for small business.

I reiterate my recommendation for R, which is free and open source. I
say that BTW as a former SAS user.  :-)
