We have a new SAS 9.4 license file as of April 29, 2015, which should be installed on all existing SAS 9.4 installations. This does not change the functionality of the software, but it is important when requesting technical support from SAS. The most recent maintenance update to SAS 9.4 is posted to this site as SAS94-TS1M2, which does change some functionality, and includes this new license.
