I heartily agree with Ash and Gerald - Autosharp (which we routinely use for experimental phasing) is free for academics and in my opinion is an outstanding package. Further, we have always found the people at Global Phasing are always extremely helpful with all sorts of phasing questions not just installation! From a personal perspective I would always rather have free or low cost packages that require a little bit of setup than being charged like a wounded bull for a "commercial" package.
