SAS delivers regular updates of the SAS Private JRE based on Java 21 for use with SAS^® 9.4M9 (TS1M9), Java 11 for use with SAS^® 9.4M8 (TS1M8) and Java 8 for use on z/OS and z64 on SAS 9.4M8, SAS^® 9.4M7 (TS1M7), and SAS^® 9.4M6 (TS1M6).

SAS has stopped delivering new Java 7 updates due to the decision by Azul, the SAS Java vendor, to end "Commercial Support" for Java 7. SAS will continue to provide the last Java 7 update, which was released by SAS in August 2022.

This SAS Note describes how to download the SAS Java Runtime Environment (JRE) updates for SAS^® 9.4M3 (TS1M3) – SAS 9.4M9. For details about the requirements for using Java 7, Java 8, Java 11 and Java 21, see the SAS Third-Party Software Requirements page, scroll to your version of SAS, and click the associated JRE link.

If you are using SAS^® 9.3M2 (TS1M2) or SAS^® 9.4M0 (TS1M0) – SAS^® 9.4M2 (TS1M2), consider upgrading to a later release to leverage enhanced capabilities and a more robust support experience. If you are unable to upgrade at this time, contact SAS Technical Support for the Java update.

If you are using SAS 9.4M3 – SAS 9.4M8 on Solaris x64 or Solaris 64-bit, contact SAS Technical Support for the Java update.
