8 Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows
By default, the Select Components window opens with all your licensed software selected. The
window uses your SAS Installation Data file to determine the software for which you are
licensed, and selects only those components. You can click the Select Licensed Software
button to return to the default setting.
During an update, only the components that require updating will be selected, and it is not
possible to uncheck any of those selections.
It is possible to install software for which you are not currently licensed. You may choose to
do this if you anticipate licensing additional software in the future. In this way, the software
will be installed and ready for the application of a new SAS Installation Data file.
Note: Clients of servers gain access to all of the products present on that server.
However, if you add products to an existing Server for Clients, the clients of that
server must re-run the User Setup from the updated server to gain access to the
additional software.
To do this, end users run the installation from that server (linked off the SAS Setup
AutoPlay and the SAS Software Navigator), specifying the same paths used in
their initial installation, usually the default values through the Setup. When the
Setup completes, users have access to all of the products on the server.
Once you have selected the desired software, follow the screen dialogs to the end of the SAS
Administrator Wizard. The wizard will apply the SETINIT contained in your SAS Installation
Data file to prepare the network image for end users who will run SAS Software.
At this point, you have created a network image that is capable of supporting your Client
Users with the software mix that you have placed into the image.
From this image, the System Requirements Wizard will be used to prepare your end user
machines for SAS Software. SAS Setup will also be used from this image to perform the
minimal installation on the client user’s PC.
Users who will use this image to install interactively should be instructed to run the AutoPlay
from the image you have just created by running:
<Source Path>\Setup.exe
Where Source Path is the destination you provided when you created the image.
For more information about the process of installing interactively, refer your users to User
Installation Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation which is on the Documentation for
Installing and Configuring SAS CD and on the Install Center Web site, or you can select
the “View User Installation Guide” option from the SAS Software Navigator.
Creating an Image for Personal Users
This section assumes that you have already retrieved the SAS Installation Data file. The
material here describes the creation of a network image to support Personal Users.
Personal Users are users of SAS Software who will install all components that they will use on
their local PCs. (If your end users will run the software from the network, see the earlier
section in this document, Creating an Image for Client Users, on page 6).
The SAS Administrator Wizard includes
a prompt for specifying your End User Type.
