Determining the Product Release Numbers for Products at Your Site

Before applying a maintenance release or upgrading to a new product release, you need the product release numbers for all SAS products at your site. To determine these product release numbers for each machine in your SAS deployment, generate a deployment registry report and save it for future reference. For more information about how to generate this report, see SAS Note 35968 at http://support.sas.com/kb/35/968.html.
The deployment registry report lists all of the SAS 9.2 products that are installed in the same SAS installation directory.
Note: The deployment registry report lists all of the installed products. These products might not be deployed or configured at your site.
For example, if your deployment includes an installation of SAS Web Report Studio 4.2, then the deployment registry report could include the following entry:
Host: wx6
Product Code: citationweb
Version: 4.2
Display Name: SAS Web Report Studio
Display Version: 4.2_M1
The Display Version field shows that SAS Web Report Studio 4.2_M1 is installed at your site. The maintenance release number (M1) indicates that SAS Web Report Studio has been updated in one of the maintenance releases for SAS. (In this case, SAS Web Report Studio was updated in the second maintenance release for SAS 9.2.) For more information about maintenance release numbers and how these numbers are incremented for each SAS product, see Understanding Maintenance Release Numbers.
Note: It is recommended that you generate a deployment registry report before you apply any update and that you save this report for future reference. However, if you did not generate a deployment registry report before you applied the maintenance release or upgraded to a new product release, you can determine your product release number for each SAS product at your site by reviewing the Deployment Summary that is generated by the SAS Deployment Wizard. For more information, see About the Deployment Summary.
