Upgrading or Uninstalling the SAS Studio Basic Edition

Where Are My Customizations Saved?

You might have made some user modifications to the SAS Studio Basic Edition. These customizations are saved in the usermods files in SAS-Studio-configuration-directory\workspaceserver. If you upgrade or uninstall the SAS Studio Basic Edition, these files are copied to the SAS-Studio-configuration-directory\userdata directory. As a result, these files are not overwritten when you upgrade the SAS Studio Basic Edition, and these files are not deleted when you uninstall the SAS Studio Basic Edition.
