You will face continued challenges running software that has passed its end-of-sales date. Cisco will not be developing updates for it and you will see more and more new products be unmanageable.

You need to upgrade the whole suite - you can't pick and choose among the tools as they have tightly coupled dependencies.

I'd really recommend moving to LMS 4.2. It is a major upgrade and will cost for the license but will give you a much more current and capable network management system.
