If you use LSF be afraid, be very very afraid

Interesting note over on the SAS Support site here:

http://support.sas.com/techsup/pcn/index.html

At the bottom it says:

Platform Suite for SAS (LSFSUITE)

Effective September 1, 2009 Platform Suite for SAS (“LSFSUITE”) will no longer be included in the price of previously licensed SAS solution or technology packages. Customers who wish to continue use of LSFSUITE, will have until 90 days from the expiration date of their SAS solution or technology package to license this product at then-current renewal fees. This will be accomplished by executing the necessary licensing documents for LSFSUITE and paying the applicable then-current renewal fees (“migration plan”). Please call 1-800-727-0025 to initiate the process of establishing a license for LSFSUITE prior to expiration of the migration plan. No further action is required for those customers who do not wish to take advantage of this migration plan.

So as I read this if you have LSF in one of your bundles that you currently pay renewals for, then you need to use the “migrate plan” and pay the LSF portion of the renewals to Platform Computing.

No mention on what happens to your SAS renewals though.

Let me know if you find out.
