Error Message when installing SAS from Software Center via SCCM

RashardD — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 12:50:44 GMT

I am receiving this error message when installing SAS from Software Center. The error message does not always appear but out of 10 installations, 2 will appear with this error message. I have tried researching the issue but not a lot of information is out there. I am assuming during the installation that some of the files are getting corrupted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A big flag is the text about the DATEs involved. SAS licenses, and the associated installation files, are date dependent. If you attempt to install past the date the license file is good for then it will not install. NOT corrupted, EXPIRED.

Contact who ever manages your contracts for SAS licensing to get the correct time period license file (SID file).

The fact that you say only 2 of 10 installs gets this means that perhaps you haven't read all the message carefully or there is something very funky going on with the date clocks somewhere.

We just purchased this version last week so I'm sure all my files are good. I have no problem deploying it from PDQ deploy. I have a 100% success rate every time I deploy it from there. It's only Software Center that seems to be a hit or miss.

Whenever your SAS licence is updated, this also needs to be done in your SCCM SAS install package also. The errors make it clear this hasn't been done.
