In general, the process for installing and configuring all SAS products is the same. You
can perform this installation and configuration by using the SAS Deployment Wizard.
However, some products require that you perform steps before upgrading to a new
release or perform post-configuration steps after installing the product. The “Product
Details and Requirements” section of this document contains information about product
changes and any pre-installation and post-configuration steps that you need to perform
for a specific SAS product. Each chapter begins with an upgrade path table. In the
table, find the row for your current release and the release that you are upgrading to.
The last column in that row contains the high-level steps that you must perform to install
and configure a SAS product. It is important that you review the documentation for all
products at your site before updating the software at your site, so you can create a
complete installation and configuration checklist for your site.
