You need virtualization software to run SAS University Edition because it is a virtual application (or vApp). See below for the Quick Start Guide for Virtualization software. Virtualization software allows your computer to host one or more virtual environments. Virtualization software is most often used to emulate an Operating System (O/S) in order to allow a guest O/S to be run, for example allowing Linux to run as a guest on top of a PC that is natively running a Microsoft Windows operating system (or the inverse, running Windows as a guest on Linux).
