How do i install sas on my computer which has no virtualization technology feature?

[TanviMudhale]

Hi,

I have toshiba laptop- windows 7- 64 bit, intel core 2 duo processor T600

My laptop does not have virtualization technology supported.

Is there a way i can still use SAS without the virtualization technolgy?

I am really struggling hard for this. Can you please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @TanviMudhale

Are you trying to use SAS University Edition, Which I think uses the VT.
If you don't have VT Enabled I Don't think you would be able to use it. But you can try another alternative as below:

If you are student and want to learn SAS, then you can visit this link to understand how you can use SAS on Cloud free of charge -

http://support.sas.com/software/products/ondemand-academics/#s1=2

This would require internet connection. Link would also have quick guides on how you can register to start using it.

Product link can be viewed here - https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/on-demand-for-academics.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Anand,

Thank you for the response.

Yes i am a student and using University edition.
So the below mentioned link does not require VT, right??

Just an internet connection would do?

Your best off speaking to SAS directly.  You can get SAS via Amazon Web Services, not sure how good that is/cost etc.  If your laptop doesn't support Virtualisation tech, then it may be an old machine, i.e. upgrade time.  Other options include installing it on a desktop soewhere which does have the v-tech, then having a desktop link to your laptop (would require a fair bit of setup - if it does work at all) or getting a license from SAS.  But they would be able to help you best, this is just a Q&A forums on the software.
