SAS Linux Renewal Instructions

If you have not already done so, request a new license at SAS 9.4 64-Bit Linux Renewal.

To apply the SAS 9.4 Renewal to an EXISTING SAS 9.4 64-Bit Linux installation:

1. It is recommended that the same identity that was used to install the software is used to renew the license.
2. Stop all running SAS processes.
3. Run SAS Setup from !SASROOT/sasse.&ntupbsp; Make sure you have the appropriate privilege to update files in SASROOT.
4. Select Run Setup Utilities from the SAS Setup Primary Menu.
5. Select Renew SAS Software.
6. Specify the location where you stored your SID file (i.e. SAS94_[etc].txt) when prompted.
7. Your SID file is applied immediately.  SAS Setup will report if the task was completed successfully or not.  If errors occur, a message is displayed indicating the log files you should check.  If the SAS installation data applies successfully, you can enter Q to quit SAS Setup and run the SAS System normally.

This downloaded SAS 9.4 64-Bit Linux Renewal SID File will extend the license of SAS 9.4 64-Bit Linux until June 30 with a 90 day grace period through September 28.

SAS Institute requires that a license renewal authorization code be ap/plied each year.  If you are still at VCU, you will be notified by email when future annual license authorization codes (called setinits) are available. Licenses for additional installs must be registered at:
