Abstract: In this article, we use Pad'{e} approximations constructed for binomial functions, to give a new upper bound for the number of the solutions of the $S$-unit equation. Combining explicit formulae of these Pad'{e} approximants with a simple argument relying on Mahler measure and on the local height, we refine the bound due to J.-H. Evertse.
