License Update

Willem991 — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 09:18:18 GMT

I am having a bit of trouble updating my sas license key that results in the following error message after running the utility as admin and clicking the renew button:

ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name C:\USERS\WILLEM~1\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\TEMP1\SIAUTO.SAS.
ERROR: Unrecognized SAS option name ϻ�-SYSI
N.ERROR: (SASXKRIN): KERNEL RESOURCE INITIALIZATION FAILED.
ERROR: Unable to initialize the SAS kernel.

And then a message appears which states that there was a problem applying the setinit file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like somewhere along the way, an ASCII minus sign was replaced with a UTF minus sign in the shell script.

Did you do any edits yourself, using anything but a simple text editor?

Hi

Check if the path where license file is placed has any issues or if the license file is renamed
