Running SAS 9.4 from a flash drive

332 Views Asked by At

I have downloaded the SAS 9.4 suite on a flash drive. However, I do not have enough space on my hard disk to install SAS on my laptop.

Is there a way I can run SAS from my flash drive, instead of installing it on my laptop?

Operating system : Windows 10

Sort of? I have an external drive I've formatted (SSD/Flash) with an entire OS on it including SAS.

So I have VMware installed on my computer and it accesses the image file stored on the flash drive/SSD to run. You may even be able to do this with SAS UE. But you can also just use Academics on Demand which is cloud-based, assuming it's non-commercial usage and for learning.

EDIT: It's on a (256GB) flash drive that I keep on my computer because I don't really use the SD slot for anything else. It has Windows 10 on it because my main machine is a MacBook.
