SAS Topics: Renewing SAS V9.x
The CSCAR Guide to Renewing SAS Software V9.1 for Windows
To renew SAS V9.1, you should have received a .txt file from ITCS or whomever handles your SAS software distribution of the form
sas91_XXXXXX.txt
This file contains the updated licensing information for SAS V9.1.
Download this file, and save it on your machine in a directory that you can remember. Then, follow these steps:
1. Click on the Start Menu
2. Select All Programs
3. Select SAS
4. Select SAS 9.1 Utilities
5. Select Renew SAS Software
6. When the renewal window opens, Step 1 asks you to browse to the location of your "SAS Installation Data File". This is where you saved the .txt file containing the licensing info. Click on the Browse button and find the file where you saved it.
7. Click on OK to verify the "SAS Installation Data."
8. Step 2 verifies that you are from the University of Michigan. Click on Next.
9. Step 3 asks for the directory where SAS is installed. Change this directory if necessary, but the default directory should be
C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1
10. Click on Renew, and you're all done until next year!
Do NOT try to run the .txt file in SAS. This will not work.
If you have questions that are not answered above, please email sas.help@umich.edu and specify the step in the process that is not working.
