During a SAS 9.4 installation, you select a SAS installation data file (SID file) on the Specify SAS Installation Data File screen in the SAS^® Deployment Wizard. SAS then compares the SAS site number in the selected SID file with the SAS site number(s) associated with your SAS Software Depot. If the site numbers do not match, the following message is displayed:

The SAS site number in the selected SID file must match a SAS site number associated with your SAS Software Depot.

To determine the SAS site number(s) for your SAS Software Depot, do the following:

1. Obtain the six-digit order number from the Select SAS Software Order page in the SAS Deployment Wizard or from the sas software depot\order_data folder. If you have multiple order numbers, determine which order number was selected during the SAS installation.
2. Open the soi.html file in the sas software depot\install_doc\ORDER#\ folder.
3. Search the soi.html file for the string Tech Support Site Number, to obtain the SAS site number(s) for the SAS Software Depot or SAS media. There could be multiple SAS site numbers in one depot. So, search for all occurrences.

To move past the warning and proceed with your installation, do the following:

1. Click Browse on the Specify SAS Installation Data File page.
2. Specify the SID file that has the site number that is associated with your SAS Software Depot.

If You Are Installing Only SAS^® Client Software (such as SAS^® Enterprise Guide^®)

If you are not installing SAS^® Foundation software, but the SAS Software Depot contains only SAS Foundation for a platform other than a Microsoft Windows workstation, then ensure that SAS Foundation is not selected. Then, to install only SAS clients, select the SID file that is associated with the depot for the platform, such as UNIX or Windows Server.
