SAS DIsk 5 and Service Pack 4

[DonaZ]

I renewed my current SAS 9.1.3 standalone; however, I noticed now Service Pack 4 is available and another disk---DISK 5. What did you do with the Service Pack 4? Should I install DISK 5? Suggestions?

When you say "Renewed" do you mean you re-installed, or that you renewed the license?

Generally they recommend that you only install service packs if you're having problems. That said, I'm pretty sure it prompts you to install Service Pack 4 during the install process (I've done it a few times myself).

DISK5 will only be needed if it tells you to insert it during the installation process, generally it looks at your license, then prompts you to put in the disks needed to install everything you're licensed for.

I just renewed the license with the new number. I want to know more about the optional items.

If you load up the SAS Software Navigator disk, that should show you all the other items that are on the disks. There are a number of thrid party items which you don't need a licence for (for instance SAS Viewer which isn't installed by default, but can be located through the Navigator disk).
