SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

112 Chapter 17 / SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office
About Running on SAS 9.3
The SAS Add-In 4.3 for Microsoft Office and the SAS Add-In 4.305 for Microsoft Office
run on SAS 9.2. If you install the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office 4.3 or 4.305 from a
SAS 9.2 depot, then to run these releases on a SAS 9.3 server you must apply hot fix
10 or later. However, if you install the SAS Add-In 4.305 for Microsoft Office from a SAS
9.3 depot, then hot fix 10 is included. The functionality is identical in both releases.
n If you install SAS 9.3 on the client tier, any existing installation of the SAS Add-In 4.3
for Microsoft Office is moved to the SAS 9.3 home directory. By default, this
directory is C:\Program Files\SASHome.
n You are not required to install SAS 9.3 Foundation on your client tier. Any existing
installation of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office can connect to a SAS 9.3
Foundation environment.
n The 4.305 release that ships with SAS 9.3 includes any hot fixes that have been
released since the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office first shipped in August 2010 and
the initial release of SAS 9.3.
If you do not install SAS 9.3 on your client machine (and therefore you are still
running the 4.3 release that was delivered with SAS 9.2), you must download and
apply hot fix C46010 (or later) to your 4.3 installation. For more information, see

Upgrading from the SAS Add-In 2.1 for
Microsoft Office or an Earlier Release
The following considerations apply to the SAS Add-In 4.3 for Microsoft Office customers
who are upgrading from the SAS Add-In 2.1 for Microsoft Office.
n Because the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office is used by a variety of people and
group within an organization, your administrator might choose to restrict the menu
items and functionality that users can access. By default, the SAS add-in ships with
several default roles. These roles manage the availability of application features,
called capabilities.
