If you are an existing user, in the "check for updates" option in the software you should see the notification for the update/latest release. Users can simply add connections pointing to SAS Viya 4, once they have installed the new 8.4 version of SAS Enterprise Guide. Just like how connections to SAS 9 servers are being defined today. For more information, be sure to take a look at the SAS Enterprise Guide Support page here: 2.sas.com/6057ksF5f
SAS Enterprise Guide 8.x could always connect to SAS Viya 3.5. The change here is addition of the ability to connect to SAS Viya 4, which required support for new protocol (REST) in Enterprise Guide, as SAS Viya 4 doesn't have some legacy components that were required to use the existing connection methods. Note also that not all SAS Viya 3.5 environments included Enterprise Guide and this update won't change anything in those cases.
How do I open the SAS Enterprise Guide in SAS Viya 3.5? I can not see it anywhere!
