If you are downloading SAS^® software using Electronic Software Delivery (ESD), you might receive this error:

Maximum number of downloads for this order has been exceeded.  
Please contact SAS tech support for further assistance.  Refer 
to software order email for contract information.

The message occurs when multiple downloads have occurred using ESD. Downloading your software from SAS should not be used as a mechanism for distributing your software across your organization.

The intent of the service is to provide a download to your company so you can install a copy of the SAS Software Depot on an internal server. You can then distribute from your server to the individual licensees. You can create media for distribution from the SAS Software Depot also. If your individual licensees try to download using ESD, you will encounter the error when the allotted number of downloads has been reached. The number of downloads allowed is subject to your number of licensed users or copies.
