SAS University Edition: Help Center

What do I do if I see an unknown status error?

When you try to start SAS University Edition, you might see this error message:

The launch of the server process failed with an unknown status code.

This error indicates that the shared folder is in a location that requires administrative rights to access. To correct this issue, move the SASUniversityEdition shared folder to a location that the virtualization software has permissions to access. For more information, see SAS Problem Note 54002.
