    1. Some computers simply do not support virtualization to run the virtual machine. check (https://yoyoclouds.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/how-to-check-whether-your-pc-has-virtualization-enabled-or-not/). If your PC support virtualization then download a virtual machine (e.g.: Virtual Box) and a SAS image.Check at this link how to install in Virtual Box (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJRzsorlnfg).

    1. Yep...the SAS UNIVERSITY EDITION (with SAS studio interface) intend to help people who want to learn SAS language without using pirate version. But in real time companies you need to use the full copyrighted version (SAS foundation).

  9. With technology changing at a rapid pace, the lettings industry is said to have changed completely from what it was several decades ago. Previously, the landlords had to go from door to door to collect their monthly rents. But now, with internet connection and banks offering numerous facilities, it has become easy on their part to receive online transactions.
