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.
