Live Web System Requirements

When you're ready to take an in-depth course from SAS, check out what you'll need to get up and running. We'll help you understand the technical requirements as well as what to expect as a student.

For Audio

We recommend using VoIP for best performance with Zoom Live Web meetings. Computer speakers, USB headset with microphone, or headphones. Microphone is optional but encouraged for speaking with instructor. A text chat service is provided.
If computer audio is not an option, you may use a phone line to dial into the audio conference (Zoom provides local and international numbers; these are not toll free).
Note: We do not recommend using cell phones to join the audio conference. Telephone calls count against your available minutes with most providers. Please contact your provider for details on your specific plan. SAS is not responsible for overages or other costs incurred related to cell phone use.

For Web

Minimum bandwidth DSL/cable at least 5Mbps connection (wired connection recommended)
OS: Windows 10/8, Mac OS X 10.13 – macOS 10.15+
Browser: Only Chrome browser will be fully featured to use with Zoom. Any other browser will not provide audio, so you would need to use a phone connection to get the audio if you do not use Chrome browser.

For Virtual Lab

In order to connect to the virtual lab, you will need to have the following enabled to use the Citrix HTML5 client:

The gateway server will need to be allowed access through your firewalls/proxies:
labs.liveweb.sas.com, 149.173.72.171
These ports need to be enabled for the previously mentioned gateways: 80, 443

The receiver uses port 443 (SSL) to establish the connection from the client to the gateways, listed above.
