None of the downloadable media from Cisco is bootable, however for lab purposes you can make the media bootable yourself, there are many similar threads on this forum on how to accomplish this.

Keep in mind this would not be supported for production environment.

HTH,

Another thing to keep in mind is I'm pretty sure Cisco will not allow upgrading a demo license to another version (7.1.3 to 8.6 for example). Would be nice to be able to do this to prep for upgrades in production environment.

Wilson,

If you own a valid Cisco ESW contract that covers this software you can legally download the file. By default when you install it on VMWare it provides you with 150 DLU and 2 Node Demo license.

HTH,

Chris
