Solved: How can I get a trial version of cisco ACS 5.4

Jose Martin Villanueva Mauricio · ‎01-13-2013

Hi guys:

I would like to obtain a trial version of the ACS 5.4 for educational purposes (certification LAB). I know that it is possible to download the ISO file from www.cisco.com, but when a try to download the file with my cisco CCO a get a message asking me for "Additional Entitlement Required". Do you know how can I get this software?

PD: I was able to download a trial license of this software (the *.lic file), but I want to install the ACS into a VMWARE server and play with it. I need the ISO file.

Thank you so much for your help

Regards.

Cisco offers limited trial copies of only some of its products. Those are linked from here:

http://www.cisco.com/go/nmsevals

Generally speaking, if it's not listed there, it's not available in trial version. It's generally not Cisco policy to offer all software in trial versions for educational and lab use.

If you're working with a Cisco account manager or partner, you may be able to get an exception on a case-by-case basis.
