Hi, 

I am working in a setting where the IT is not familier with SAS software properly. May I know how MAC users can install SAS desktop version 9.4 to their system? 

Also, May I know if MAC users can use SAS studio directly or not? 

Thanks a lot,

SAS cannot be installed on a Mac, unless you use a Windows Virtual Machine installed on the computer.

If SAS is installed on a server, then you can access Studio through a browser, then it doesn't matter if you have a Mac or not. Since your company is unfamiliar with SAS I doubt this is the case.

Not sure if SAS in Cloud is an option for you, but a single license may be cheaper for one user.
