Stay Ahead of SAS 9.4 Support Changes with Woodpecker
SAS has announced major changes to its support policy for SAS 9.4, moving several versions from Standard Support to Limited Support in 2025.
What does this mean for your business? If you’re using SAS 9.4M0 to M6, these versions will enter Limited Support in February 2025, while SAS 9.4M7 will enter Limited Support in September 2025.
Why does this matter?
No more security patches or bug fixes
SAS 9.4 is reaching its limit—no more security patches or bug fixes ahead. Stay ahead with SAS Viya for enhanced security, innovation, and future-ready analytics
Support request response time will be restricted to lower-severity issues
With support response time restricted to lower-severity issues, SAS 9.4 users face growing risks. Stay ahead—upgrade to SAS Viya for proactive support and seamless performance!
Software downloads will be discontinued
Stay ahead: The era of SAS 9.4 ends as software downloads are set to halt.
Act fast to secure your tools, before SAS 9.4 fades into the archives.
These changes increase security risks, impact software performance, and limit future upgrades, making modernization a business necessity.
