SAS Installation Data file (SID file) License File

1. If you do not have the SAS License file (SID file), see the section "Obtain a SID File" below.
2. Verify that your SAS Licence file is for the same SAS version and SAS site number, as determined above.
   Note: The default name of the SID file is in this format:
   SAS94_order#_SiteNum_operating-system.txt 
   where order# is the unique order number for your site, SiteNum is your 8-digit SAS TS site number, and operating-system is the valid operating system for the SID file.
3. Save the SAS License file to a location accessible from your machine, such as your desktop or another folder.

Run the Renew SAS Software process

Now, to renew the SAS license file for SAS 9.4 (TS1M2) and earlier SAS 9.4 releases, perform these steps.

1. Log on to your Microsoft Windows operating system with a user ID that has local administrator rights.
2. Verify that any SAS expiration message window is closed and that all SAS sessions are closed.

3. In Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 2012 Server or later operating environments, select Start ► SAS.
   In Windows 7 or Windows 2008 Server operating environments, select Start ► All Programs ► SAS ► Utilities.

4. Right-click Renew SAS Software and select Run as administrator. If a User Access Control dialog box appears, click Allow.
   1. In the Renew SAS Software dialog box, select Browse and navigate to the SID file on your machine. Select the file and click Open. If you do not have the SID file, see the section "Obtain a SID File" below.
      Note: The name of the SID file is in the format SAS94_order#_SiteNum_operating-system.txt, where order# is the unique order number for your site, SiteNum is your 8-digit SAS TS site number, and operating-system is the valid operating system for the SID file.
   2. Click Next.
   3. Verify the products and expiration dates. Click OK.
   4. Verify the folder where SAS was installed.
   5. Click Renew.
5. If the license renewal is successful, the following message is displayed:
   
      The setinit was successfully applied
    
6. If it is not successful, the message indicates that, and it displays the location of the setinit.log file. Review the setinit.log file in a text editor to check for errors.

Verify the Currently Licensed SAS Products and Expiration Dates

To check the currently licensed SAS products and corresponding expiration dates, do the following:

1. Open a SAS session.
2. In the SAS Editor window, enter this code:   proc setinit; run;
3. Select Run ► Submit.

Obtain a SID File

To obtain a SID file, contact your SAS installation representative. To determine the SAS installation representative who is responsible for your site, navigate to SAS Support Personnel at Your Site.

Make sure that you have your SAS site number and company name. This information is displayed at the top of the SAS log window when you first start SAS 9.4. Or, if SAS 9.4 is expired, then it is displayed in the expiration message.
