Solved: Cisco Network Control System software

robert.huang · ‎10-07-2011

As far as I know, the NCS is an appliance. But today some people told me that he has a copy of Cisco's Network Control System software. I am confused. If what he said is true, can I install the software on the Windows platforms like Win2003 or Win2008?

Thanks in advance.
