Hello.

 

We need to renew our licences on our SAS Linux servers and we want to use a technical shutdown on our platform.

 

As the shutdown is scheduled from 4am to 7am on wednesday, we want to update the licences on the servers during Tuesday while SAS servers are running.

And let the shutdown stop and start the servers so licences will be applied automatically.

 

Is it possible ?

 

Or do we have to make it the right way :

4am, servers are stopped

7am, servers are started

In the morning, we stop again the SAS servers, we apply licences and we start SAS servers

 

Regards.

There is no need to restart SAS servers immediately after a licence renewal as long as your licence hasn't already expired. It can wait until your next scheduled restart. In many cases the new licence will work straight away, for example SAS batch and workspace server sessions. You can confirm this by running this:

proc setinit;
run;
