Scott, Leave it to you to ask the tricky questions! I'll try to answer, but as some of the details may depend on software bundling with certain SAS solutions and differences among regions, the best source of information will be your SAS account rep. (1) - Yes, with SAS for Windows Workstation, EG supports the "local-local" setup -- EG is local, SAS is local, and no metadata server needed. EG can be used as a replacement or complement to Display Manager. (2) - When SAS is on a central remote server (server-grade OS, whether Windows or otherwise), EG is a separate license -- per-seat. SAS Integration Technologies is required on the server. That's how EG talks to the remote server from your desktop. (3) - On Citrix or Terminal Server -- these are usually server-class OSs so the Windows Workstation licensing doesn't apply. You would need to license SAS for the server-class machine as usual. If you want to use EG on the same machine, you need the EG licenses for the number of seats you intend to use. But you can save on configuration steps -- EG can be used with the SAS install with no metadata server or IntTech, as long as EG and SAS are on the same machine. Of course, with no IntTech you don't have access to all of the benefits of a centralized SAS administration. Technically EG 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 5.1 can all be on the same machine. EG 4.1 can talk to SAS 9.1.3 or SAS 9.2/9.3 (local-only), and EG 4.2, 4.3, 5.1 can work with SAS 9.2 or SAS 9.3 (though I recommend EG 4.3 or 5.1 if you have 9.3). Chris
