SAS INSTALLATION

[robertrao]

Hello All,

I currently have SAS on my system and while renewing it for another year and have the following deployment error.

" SAS ODBC DRIVERS FOR THE WEB INFRASTRUCTURE PLATFORM DATA SERVER"

i tried to look it up and did not understand about cmd.exe

http://support.sas.com/kb/52/980.html

Could someone on the team help me overcome this? Is it OK to proceed further ignoring the error?

Thank you

Your post is somewhat confusing. You say you renewed your SAS licence but then talk about a deployment error. So what exactly have you done? Just renewed a SAS licence (please describe how you did this) or did you do a deployment as well? Please supply the full error message.

Hello,
Thank you for the reply...it looks like our license expired in august but we have grace period till nov 29,2016.
So I followed the instructions below and downloaded the product and unzipped the files.. there are 500+ installation processes and one of them failed. I don't know what happened...


"The license (right-to-use) to software expired on August 31, 2016. The license file has a grace period allowing time for our order to be processed by SAS and time for the user to renew through TXShop, however, the actual license expired on August 31st.All orders are processed within 2-4 business days.

This is just a guess as I don't know what SAS products you have. If you have web-tier SAS products then did you do the "Update SAS licence in metadata" step?
