Abc, I can't claim to know the ABC's of SAS licensing, so your best bet is to ask your ever friendly, ever helpful SAS representative and iron out both the technical and licensing issues.

What I can tell you is that you can't normally install SAS server software on a SAS workstation. So, you will likely need to purchase both Base SAS _AND_ SAS/Connect software for any PC's that you want to have talk to SAS/Connect on your SAS BI server.

Abc, best of luck in all of your SAS endeavors!


I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!

Not sure this is possible or legal.

I wonder if it is possible to install the SAS learning addition on a
PC and buy just SAS connect.

If you can't do that then perhaps

If your server file system is mountable under windows you should be
able to offload a lot of SAS development to the learnining edition and
either write or purchase some sophisticated ultaedit/ftp program to
mirror batch server logs and lists. I have set up function keys in
display manager to submit highlighted display manager code or whole
programs ito unix batch. The log is automatically returned to my
windows display manager. note i.i has log, note j.j has list, noyr h.h
has a log scrub. I have SAS connect but it should be possible without
connect.
