Hardware and software requirements are documented at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2425/products_qanda_item0900aecd807116be.shtml as well as in the LMS 3.0 installation guide.

Yes, your current data will migrate into LMS 3.0.1.

There are no systemic problems affecting an upgrade from 2.6 to 3.0. Though a typical caveat exists for Windows that you should set your global and per-user TEMP and TMP environment variables to something short like C:\WINDOWS\TEMP prior to doing the installation.

Is this only for the "Administrator" account that does the upgrade?

Or is the "casuser" also affected?

Cheers,

The TEMP/TMP variable setting is only needed for the global environment and for the Administrator doing the installation. Once the install is done, then settings can be reverted. Not setting these variables MAY lead to a problem, but it is not a guarantee. It's just better safe than sorry.
