Attention: These changes will affect ALL SEER*Stat users, so please read the following announcement carefully.

Error creating Merged Variables in version 9.0.40.0.

A new version (Version 9.0.40.1) of SEER*Stat is now available for installation. This version does not force an update of the software from Version 9.0.40.0. If you have already installed version 9.0.40.0, you will need to manually download and install the new version.

If still using 9.0.40.0:
The error occurs when the Edit Merged Variable dialog is open and has no groupings defined. When you create a new merged variable this is the case.

As a temporary workaround, you can use an existing merged variable and create a new one from it. To do that, you would need to create a new variable from an existing merged variable (it can be one of our System-Provided Merged variables), and add at least one grouping prior to removing the old groupings.

On June 26, 2025:

  1. The original version of SEER*Stat (version 8.4.5) was retired. It was replaced with the new SEER*Stat application, version 9.0.40 (which was available as Beta for several months).
  2. The IP Address of the SEER*Stat server changed. The new IP address for "seerstat.imsweb.com" is 72.249.87.142.

Impact of Changes

  • Due to the IP address change:
    • Some users may need to work with their IT departments to configure their firewall rules to allow access to the new IP address, 72.249.87.142.
  • If you are using SEER*Stat 8.4.5:
    • You will be required to auto-update to version 9.0.40 the next time you log into SEER*Stat.
    • The new version has a new look and feel, a new method to construct selection statements, and options to graph results.
  • If you are using SEER*Stat Beta:
    • You will be required to auto-update to version 9.0.40 the next time you log into SEER*Stat. This is a production release of the Beta version.
    • The default server will automatically change to “seerstat.imsweb.com” and use the new IP address.
    • If you experience difficulty with auto-updating your software, please re-download it from the Download page.
  • Password Requirements:
    • When you upgrade to SEER*Stat 9.0.40, you will be required to change your password.
    • The password requirements are changing to improve security. Passwords must be at least 12 characters and include at least 2 special characters.
    • Anytime you receive access to new data (e.g., request a new SEER annual submission or obtain access to other datasets) you will be required to change your password.
    • The option to remember your password has been removed.

Next SEER*Stat Update Planned for July

At the end of July, there will be another SEER*Stat software release to implement required security patches and minor bug fixes. This will be a standard software update with no changes to the IP address and no requirement to change your password.
