Only launches on IE
This worked great for several years & I used it during a Master's program & a Master's thesis, then a few months ago it stopped launching on any browser except Internet Explorer. This wouldn't be such an issue but IE is retiring so it's only a matter of time before it's entirely unusable. I've contacted SAS customer service on numerous occasions with no help and AWS customer service is not offered with my basic subscription.
Overall, this was once great product, now it's very poor.
quick start worked, but unable to connect to EC2 using SSH
following the steps in quick-start-guide, the instance is up & running
also able to start SAS-Studio
But unable to connect to EC2 using SSH or web-client, similar to issue reported:
https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Analytics-U/How-to-Set-Up-SAS-University-Edition-on-Amazon-Web-Services-AWS/m-p/592506/highlight/true#M8902
Need info on the user name defined in AMI for connecting to ssh.
Follow the link in the comment. Once it was setup, it worked ok.
I had problem with set up. Follow the link below for detailed instructions from SAS community.

Once I set up properly, it seemed to work well. I would only give 4 stars, due to the limit on 10 MB upload limit to the workspace.
Note: the user name is "sasdemo" . lowercase without quotes.
SAS University Sucks
All I ever get is site can't be reached no matter how many times I follow the directions step by step and no matter how many bug fixes I read. I am tired of wasting my life.
Thanks Vladimir - Steps to launch SAS University Edition
Your step-by-step was indeed very useful!
I followed the steps as per the instructions you had given.
It worked for me.
Thank you
Steps to launch SAS University Edition
Instructions provided by SAS are misguiding. I did the following:
1. Hover the mouse over your user name (right top corner) and select "Your AWS Console"
2. In the box "Build your solution", click on "Launch a virtual machine"
3. From the left pane, select "AWS Marketplace"
4. In the search bar (mid pane), type "SAS" and hit 'enter'
5. On page Step 1: click "Select" SAS University Edition
6. On page Step 2: Instance type menu will be provided - I think you can handle from there (not explored yet).
Good luck!
Never connects
So, far my experience has been terrible. I have created 4 different instances over two different subscriptions. I have yet to connect after selecting Access Software. I am reviewing all potential issues on my local side, but I have been able to connect to EC2 instances in the past on this machine. So far, not so good.
SAS studio just doesn't load
I have been trying to access the SAS university edition for more than a month now. Each time it just says it is loading and nothing happens further. Just one blue screen that says 'loading'. I'm super disappointed. Can somebody explain what's the shortcoming here? Internet bandwidth for one isn't an issue.
Decent enough!
The look and feel of SAS Uni in AWS is very similar (unsurprisingly) to VIYA. The install works well enough and while I am just getting to grips with SAS in the cloud, it feels like a really viable alt to Enterprise Guide - though i have yet to come up against what I am sure will be inevitable limitations.
the only issue i have had is that the setup guidance provided by SAS is wrong. No 'Access Software' link appears next to SAS under subscriptions. To launch the application, I needed to go to the EC2 console manager and paste instance DNS into a new browser window - and then supply instance id as the password. I fumbled around with this for a wee while and feel like an idiot. Seems an obvious thing to do frankly but SAS does provide quite different (and for me, wrong) guidance.
