So we have a few customers where we have installed SAS 9.2 M2 on either on a live or a test environment.

We wanted to test applying the M3 maintenance release before the 4.3 clients come out as there are dependent.

So the process is to apparently run the download manager again and the install depot will be updated.

But before you do this you will need to talk to your account manager to get a new license code, or the download manager wont update the install depot.

Is it me or just this seem like one extra unnecessary step to apply a maintenance release for software a customer has paid for?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick on this one and this is not required?

And of course when searching for documentation on installing/applying the M3 release you get nada.
