Usage Note 9713: Expired site license generates warnings in the SAS log
SAS® software is licensed on an annual basis.
When your license period has ended, SAS software is not required by contract
to continue working. In order to help you maintain continuity in
your work, SAS continues to function for a limited "grace period"
even after your license has expired. For part of this grace period, usually 45 days, there are no indications in your SAS log. For the latter part of this grace period, usually another 45 days, you will see the following warning in your SAS log:
WARNING: Your system is scheduled to expire on EXPIRE_DATE, which is N days from now.
Please contact your installation representative to have your system renewed.
The SAS System will no longer function on or after that date.
This warning appears as a convenience to remind your SAS installation
representative that it is time to apply the new licensing file.
Once the new licensing file is applied, the warning will no longer appear.
Applying a new licensing file is the only way to suppress this warning message in the SAS log.
Your SAS representative receives a new licensing file as soon as payment
has been received. If your site requires a temporary extension,
your SAS representative should contact Contracts Customer
Service at 800-727-0025.
