I originally purchased SAS for a laptop with Windows 8 OS, 1 CPU chip and 16 gig of RAM. Since then, I have purchased a much bigger machine with Windows 10 OS, 2 GPU chips and 32 gig of RAM, uninstalled SAS from the original machine and reinstalled it on the new one. In addition, I have rewritten the config file to increase the RAM and sort allocations to 8 and 6 gigs respectively.
Based on usage and performance statistics from Windows Task Manager it is not apparent that SAS is leveraging the full capabilities of the resources available to it. For instance, memory utilization never exceeds 2 gig and 1 chip.
Is there something embedded in the SAS installation instructions that prevents or blocks the use of these additional resources? Does this mean I need to purchase a new SAS license with new configuration/installation instructions?
