License - Update PC SAS license on multiple desktop computers



Update PC SAS license on multiple desktop computers


  1.  Update the PC SAS license on one of your desktop in the prescribed way.  Usually this is using the renew.exe program.  Once this is complete your one pc should be updated.
  2. Below are the three files that get updated when a license file is applied. These are the files you'll need to copy from the computer you updated today during our session to the other computers you need to update.
    C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sashelp\CORE.sas7bCAT 
    C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sasinst\setinit.sss 
    C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sasinst\sid.txt

  3. Once these files are copied over to the other computers, you do not need to run the "renew sas software" tool at all.  So, no further steps are required on the client  machine to renew the license once the above files have been copied to each computer.
