Did you select the appropriate 64-bit template for whatever "SAS University Edition" might be? It's not an OS that I recognize.

If you don't see a 64-bit edition of the available OSes, go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests. Those are guidelines, you have to use your judgement...

SAS University Edition is not an OS. It is student software. According to the summary I read it uses virtualization, so it is probably not going to run in a VirtualBox vm.

Yes it is. It's an OVA that you can import. See https://support.sas.com/software/produc ... ualbox.htm
From the looks of it, it's a RedHat based OS, see the top-left icon in https://support.sas.com/software/produc ... ualbox.htm

SAS seems to be a cloud app, "all you need is a browser and an internet connection". So I guess that the VM is just some random Linux distro with Chrome or Firefox installed.

Anyway the error message seems to be quite straightforward: attempting to install 64bit edition of Linux into a 32bit VM.
