Using a Deployment Plan

When you install your SAS software by using a deployment plan, SAS Studio Basic is installed but not configured. To configure the SAS Studio Basic edition, you must run the SAS Deployment Wizard a second time. In the Select Deployment Type step, you can choose whether to install SAS Foundation and related software or to install additional software.
