SAS supports two methods
for distributing SAS software orders:
-
Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)
The SAS ESD process
enables users to receive an order over the Internet from the SAS support
website.
-
Physical media (DVDs)
Physical media that
are provided by SAS contain all of the installation materials that
are needed to install an order.
With either distribution
method, you build a SAS Software Depot from which you install SAS
Foundation.
