New warning

[Quentin]

My memory is notes started in the grace period, and then warnings increased dramatically in the warning period.  But this year, you have no grace period.

The timing of the license is specific to the contract with SAS.  So if your institution (company or university) has a SAS license that expires on June 15 every year, that is when your license will expire, regardless of when you obtain a license from your institution. 

If someone from your institution is saying "Don't worry, SAS will work until September" you should tell them now that it will stop working on Jul 15.   They are probably not aware that the grace period was eliminated and warning period was shortened.  If you send them the setinit (license file) with the dates highlighted, that should clarify it for them.

Thank you @Quentin This is super helpful. I will do that.

@Mscarboncopy - I suggest you also include @ChrisHemedinger 's link: Changes to SAS Authorization Codes (SETINITs)

in your response. The important thing to note is you get your licence files at the START of your invoicing process (the Purchase Order step) and not at the END when it is actually paid, saving several weeks.
