How to Download the CSE-LABVM OVA

1. NetAcad Download

As confirmed by a student on Cisco's community forum:

“A VM we use is the CyberOps Workstation, available via
NetAcad legacy VMs — log in with your NetAcad/Cisco Academy account” reddit.com+11community.cisco.com+11community.cisco.com+11

Steps:

1. Go to [NetAcad portal → Resources → CCNA CyberOps VMs – Legacy].

2. Log in using your Cisco Academy credentials (not just a general Skills account).

3. Download the first item (CyberOps Workstation OVA), which serves as the LabVM.

2. Skills4All Resource Hub

Some users also succeeded via the Skills4All website:

“Visit skillsforall.com/resources/lab‑downloads and log in first; then download the VM.” reddit.com+4community.cisco.com+4community.cisco.com+4

Steps:

1. Go to Skills4All → Resources → Lab Downloads.

2. Choose either the Intel/AMD OVA or ARM version for M1/M2 Macs.

3. Ensure you're logged in (link proper account).

4. Download the OVA and import it into your hypervisor of choice (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.).

️ Troubleshooting Tips

• Use Cisco Academy login, not any generic email.

• If one source fails (NetAcad), try the other (Skills4All).

• If downloads keep failing:

  • Use an incognito browser session,

  • Or try a download manager to resume interrupted downloads.

• For VirtualBox or VMware errors:

  • Open the OVA as an appliance, not double-click.

  • Recreate the VM using the OVA file via File → Import Appliance.
