Direct Link:
https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284806698/type/282975114/release/Once you have downloaded the image, please share the Serial number of the Physical appliance and the VLN number of the Virtual Appliance with the Cisco Licensing team and they will be able to help generate licenses for you.
After the licenses are transferred, follow the below steps to save the configuration file from the physical appliance and load it into the virtual appliance.
Assuming your physical WSA being replaced is WSA X and the virtual WSA is WSA Y.
1. Ensure that your WSA X and WSA Y are on the same Async OS Version.
2. Save the configuration of WSA X by making sure the passwords are unmasked.
3. Next, go the WSA GUI of your WSA Y and ensure to complete all the settings under the Network Tab.
4. Next, save the configuration of WSA Y by making sure the passwords are unmasked.
5. Open both the configuration files in a tool such as Notepad ++ so that your configuration file text formatting are preserved.
6. Next, copy the entire configuration from WSA X starting with the following banner to the end of the file -
******************************************************************************
* System Configuration *
******************************************************************************
7. Next navigate to the configuration of WSA Y and delete its configuration text starting with the following banner to the end of the file -
******************************************************************************
* System Configuration *
******************************************************************************
8. Next, paste the text copied from the configuration of WSA X in Step 6 to the configuration of WSA Y.
9. Save this edited configuration Y.
10. Upload this saved configuration to the new WSA Y.
11. Once this is done, you have effectively copied the entire configuration from WSA X to the WSA Y and at the same time you have retained the Network settings of the WSA Y.
