I would like to know ........is there a way to connect to the server thru BASE SAS installed on client PC and use Libraries ,tables etc.on server ?

Currently we use Enterpriseguide 3.0 /4.0 to connect to the server

We do not have client SAS/ ACCESS LICENSE . However, we do have SAS/ACCESS LICENSE server

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

If you want to use your local Base SAS to connect to your remote SAS, you can do that using SAS/CONNECT.

If all you want to do is use your local Base SAS to connect to remote SAS libraries, you can do that by defining your remote libraries in a SAS/SHARE environment.

With either of these methods, you should be able to leverage your SAS/ACCESS licenses on the remote server.

You can also still use SAS Enterprise Guide to access your local SAS and connect (using SAS/CONNECT or SAS/SHARE) to resources on your remote SAS.

See paper 065-31 from the SAS Global Forum. It might help.
