TXShop: How do I upgrade my current licenses to the latest version?

Most license leases available through SDS are not version specific. Therefore, there is typically no additional license fee involved in upgrading to the latest version, but you do have to pay for the installation media for the new version.

If you want to upgrade to the latest version (for example, SAS 8.2 to SAS 9.1.2), go to the relevant product page, then to the Purchasing tab, and select Buy online with TXShop. You should see the installation media item you are looking for in the product category. There should be no need to purchase an additional license just for the purpose of upgrading.

If you already have access to the latest version of a product through a classmate or colleague, you can use their CDs to upgrade your installation. It is important, however, that you notify SDS that you have upgraded to a newer version. To update your version information with SDS, click the Request changes to transactions details link on the MySDS account information page.
