Hello, currently I am using SAS Enterprise Guide 7.15 which is a great editor in itself but I am still missing some key features that I often use in other language editors like pycharm and rstudio. One feature I desperately need is floating/detachable windows for to take advantage of my multi-monitor setup. The enterprise guide version I have is a single window environment and the best it can do is a side by side or stacked layout in the same window but this is not what I am looking for. I usually work with multiple files simultaneously and its really frustrating to go back through editor, log and output, every time I run some code in the editor.

I heard the new 8.1 version has added this feature (Flexible window management) which got me very excited but learned that we cannot update to it using the "Check for updates" option in the current version. To download this version, we have to request an updated SAS Software Depot. I don't know where and how to request this depot. I am using SAS provided by my university and still has 6 months left until renewal. I have to request someone who are handling SAS installations but its a very lengthy process and I don't think they will just do it for one use case.

However, as stated here, there is a standalone installer for Enterprise Guide 8.1 in SAS depot. I just need this one installer. If any of you have the latest SAS depot, can you please share this installer with me. I really appreciate your help.

Thank you

Have you talked to the SAS support people at your university? Get your fellow SAS users to contact them as well requesting EG 8.1/8.2. With enough demand surely they will see the benefits of getting the latest EG for all students if they haven't done it already.

 

Note: installation of EG 8 requires an appropriate SAS licence. This will be supplied in the SAS depot containing EG 8.
