Audience for Upgrading to a New Product Release :: Planning for Maintenance Releases and Product Upgrades for SAS(R) 9.2

Many new releases of existing SAS products depend on the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2. When you run the SAS Deployment Wizard to upgrade to the new product release, SAS automatically detects any files on your system that are older than the files in your order. If you have not applied the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2, then this maintenance release is automatically applied. If you have already applied the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2, the SAS Deployment Wizard still identifies any files that need to be updated. Therefore, because you are applying the maintenance release as well as upgrading a product, you need to complete all of the installation and configuration steps for the third maintenance release that are described in this document.

Even if you have installed the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2, review this document to determine the following information:
