Enterprise Guide connection to local SAS

Please help me with error:

Error: The connection could not be established to a SAS Workspace Server named 'Local' running on port on host 'localhost'.

Please verify the following:
- The correct hostname and port number were specified.
- If a firewall is present, it is correctly configured to allow this access.
- An object spawner has been started on the server.
- The SETINIT on the server is not expired.

Please contact your SAS Administrator if the problem persists.

Server response: Server execution failed

Are you connecting to SAS on your PC or a remote SAS server? Is this a first time connection or was it working but now it isn't?

Can you please update the post as answered then.

EDIT: Oops I misread your post. @ChrisHemedinger 's suggestion is the first thing to check.

If it was working up until just today, check the license -- did it expire? You would have seen warnings before now, but once the expiration hits, no more warnings -- just failure to connect.

No, the license is working, not expired

How do you know? How have you checked?

The easiest way to prove if your SAS software is functioning correctly is to start a traditional SAS session from a Windows program shortcut. Try running one of the SAS 9.4 shortcuts:

I have faced problems like this sometimes. I'll let a hint here.

The correct hostname and port number were specified.

Check if you have access to the server that you are trying to access to. Maybe you have a valid license to access SAS but don't have access to some servers.

Greetings,

I have six projects open that I run each morning using SAS Enterprise Guide 8.3 64 bit. Yesterday I started a new project and received the error message in this thread's original post. Since my other projects were working, and still are, I modified one of my working projects so I could accomplish the work needed.

-Before changing the original working project I saved it.

-I then began the work I was tasked with for the new project using the functioning project and it executed as intended. I completed that work, saved with a new name, and closed the new project.

-I opened the original saved project that I run daily to execute it this morning and it now gives me the error message seen in this thread. The other projects I run daily are still functioning. They were never closed and reopened. They have remained open on my desktop and connected to "Local".

It "seems" that as long as I had/have a project that was open before yesterday it will execute, but if I open/start a project and try to execute it I receive the error message.

Any thoughts on this situation? I have not received any expiration notices or emails about that from SAS.

Thank you,

Gary

Our issue seems to have been an incorrect expiration date in our update/renewal files. Files resent from SAS solved the issue.
