Problem Note 12456: Downloading SID from the Internet during the install process is removed
in SAS 9.1.3
Starting in SAS 9.1.3, the installation no longer provides a direct
internet connection for downloading the SAS Installation Data
file (SID). The SAS Installation Data file contains site-specific
installation information and includes the setinit code. The name of
the file is, typically, sas9######.txt, where # is a number or
underscore (_). You must now have the SID file prior to starting the
install.
You can request the SID file from our Web site prior to installing SAS.
You will receive a SAS Software Order email with the sas9####.txt file
attached. Save the sas9#####.txt to your local C:\ drive and reference
it during the SAS 9 install.
The web site to download the SID file is as follows:
http://support.sas.com/adminservices-SID
You must enter the SAS Installation Key and Order Number for your
company. Contact the SAS Representative at your company for the
necessary information
