Has anyone encountered any problems in installing this or know how long the upgrade takes?

Our support contractor feels its straightforward (for them) and should be doable in a day alongside some other scheduled work.

I wouldnt even attempt it by myself though!

I had some questions, too.

1. Can we upgrade from VA 7.3 to 7.4 while still on SAS 9.4 M3? Or a better questions is whether this is best practice.

2. If we upgraded to SAS 9.4 from M3 to M4 would we get VA 7.4?

Hello @lbickelh,

7.4 is available only on M4, but not every M4 distribution contains 7.4. You need to ensure it is a depot from one of the latest week numbers. Your contracts manager will understand.

That makes sense. Thank you.
