Do we need to download the SAS SOFTWARE IN THE same directory as old version?<BR />2. Does it require to setup all the connections to other servers such Database, and update metadata as well?<BR />3. Do we need to reconfigure everything such as SAS servers, batch, workspace. Does the existing configuration needs a change?
