Come to renew my SAS license, I was given a txt file SAS93_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_win_X64_Wrkstn.txt.
Click “Start” > “Program”
A dialog box pops up where you can input the txt file name with the directory.
The renew license information has to match the operating system, if not, the new license will not be able to apply and change the site validation data.
For example, my computer is a ‘w32_7pro’ and the renew license’s OSNAME specifies ‘wx64-wks’, and I got the following error message.
It will generate a setimit.log (c:\program Files\sashome\x86\SASfoundation) with the detail information.
If the license file is right and you browse to the folder where it is saved.
Click “Next” and a dialog box will show the SAS installation data being verified with all the dates renewed to the new dates.
Then you need to identify the folder where SAS is installed. On my computer it is c:\Program Files\SASHome\x86\SASfoundation\9.3., then click “Renew”.
You will get a pop up that the setinit is successfully installed.
