Upgrading to a New Product Release

Before you request a new product release, you might want to know what new functionality is available and how the new product release could affect your site. The following table lists the information that you want to gather before ordering a new product release.

Before you install a new product release, determine what specific steps need to be completed at your site. Most new product releases depend on the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2. If you have not applied the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2, then SAS automatically installs this maintenance release. If you have applied the third maintenance release, then you will not need to apply it again. During this process, you will create a custom checklist for your site. Some tasks must be performed by all sites, but other tasks are required only if you license that particular SAS product. The following table lists the sections that you need to review in order to create this custom checklist.
