FAQ: Why do I need to pay for authorization?

The Palisade DecisionTools Suite and StatPro software are powerful commercial softwares made available to the publisher with new copies of the text. We are restricted to sell these special versions of the software to students only. We require authorization to protect the commerical/professional marketing interests of these software and to ensure these valuable software continue to be made available at these extremely low costs to students.
