Obtaining Third-Party Software

Overview of Obtaining Third-Party Software

SAS provides you with two ways to obtain required third-party software:

SAS Software Depot: third_party Directory

Some third-party products are shipped with SAS 9.4. These products’ installation files and documentation are located in the SAS Software Depot under the third_party directory.
The third_party Subdirectory in the SAS Software Depot
The third_party Subdirectory in the SAS Software Depot
Platform Suite for SAS is an example of one third-party application that you install in this way. To determine whether any of your third-party software is distributed with your order, refer to your SAS Software Summary that resides in your SAS Software Depot in your order_number directory under install_doc. For example:
C:\SAS Software Depot\install_doc\order_number\ordersummary.html
Some third-party software can be obtained from the website that SAS maintains. For more information, see SAS Third-Party Software Website.

SAS Third-Party Software Website

SAS maintains a third-party software website to help you do the following:
  • determine what version of the product to install
  • obtain the product, if you do not already have it
  • find installation instructions
  • learn about any patches required
The SAS third-party website is located at http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/.
