SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

14 Chapter 2 / Determining the Product Release Numbers for Products at Your Site
Suppose Base SAS shipped a second maintenance release. Then the maintenance
release number for Base SAS would be M2. Then, the maintenance release numbers
are different because there have been two maintenance releases for Base SAS.
If the other products in the table are not updated in the second maintenance release for
SAS 9.3, their maintenance release number stays M1.

How to Run the Deployment Registry
Report
Before upgrading your SAS products, you need the product release numbers for all SAS
products at your site. To determine these product release numbers for each machine in
your SAS deployment, generate a deployment registry report and save it for future
reference. For more information about how to generate this report, see SAS Note 35968
at http://support.sas.com/kb/35/968.html.
Note: If you did not generate a deployment registry report before you upgraded the
software at your site, you can determine your product release number for each SAS
product at your site by reviewing the Deployment Summary that is generated by the
SAS Deployment Wizard (when you upgrade your software).For more information, see
“The Deployment Summary for the Installation” on page 65.
Understanding the Contents of the
Deployment Registry Report
The deployment registry report lists all of the SAS 9.3 products that are installed in the
same SAS installation directory (SAS Home).
Note: The deployment registry report lists all of the installed products. These products
might not be deployed or configured at your site.
