Cisco ACS v4.1 on Windows

[nbharakhada]

Hello - I hope this is the right community to post in.

I have inherited an old version of Cisco Secure ACS v4.1 running on Windows Server 2003.

My plan was to migrate the server onto a Windows 2008 server or a Windows 7 PC - with the first step of downloading and installing the evaluation software then upgrading, version eval-ACS-4.1.1.24-SW

To migrate, I'm led to beleive that I need the same version of software.

My question is... how do I extract the licence from the current installed on the Windows Server 2003 machine and can I import this licence onto a version of ACS that will install on a Windows 7 PC?

Thanks

The first question is: Is it worth it? The ACS4 is completely outdated and a PITA to manage (at least if you keep your Java up to date). You should better migrate to ACS5 which you can get as a virtual appliance. It will be more expensive (well, you save one Windows license) but IMO it's the way to go.
