To renew the SAS license for SAS 9.2, do the following:

1. Close SAS.
2. Click Start > Programs > SAS > SAS 9.2 License Renewal & Utilities > Renew SAS Software or click Start>Programs>SAS>SAS 9.2 (32) License Renewal & Utilities>Renew SAS Software for 32-bit SAS installations on a Microsoft Windows X64 operating system. For Microsoft Windows VISTA operating systems, refer to Installation Note 31290.
3. Browse to the SAS installation data file (SID file) that you saved on your machine previously.


Note: The default file name is SAS92_12345_site#_operatingsystem.txt, where 12345 is a unique order number for your site number, and operating system is the valid operating system for the SID file. If you do not have the SID file, see the section "e;Obtaining a SID file"e; below.


4. Click NEXT.
5. Verify the operating system and SAS products and click OK.
6. Click RENEW.

If the license renewal was successful, the following message is displayed:

Also, if the license renewal was successful, the SAS log displays a new SAS 9.2 8-digit site number, which is different from your site number for previous SAS versions.

If it was not successful, the message indicates this and displays the location of the SETINIT.LOG file. Review the SETINIT.LOG file in NOTEPAD for errors.

Obtaining a SID file

To obtain a SID file, contact your SAS installation representative. To determine the SAS installation representative who is responsible for your site, go to SAS Support Personnel at Your Site.

You will need your SAS site number and company name. This information is displayed at the top of the SAS log window when you first start SAS.

If applicable, restart your SAS servers and SAS spawners after you renew the SID file.
