What I am asking, is do we acquire the software to build this lab via a simple download, or do I need a Cisco Var to acquire this software and licensing throughout the course of this journey. I am curious to hear comments from those who have wondered or have done this exact thing. Next thing is to ask this same conversation to Cisco community. If you find that my list is incomplete or needs revisions to the version that is on my list, please feel free to inform me so i can update my list, post by post
