Ravi,

This release of ACS 5.1 provides new architecture and functionality on a standard Cisco Linux-based. We would be requiring a new box all together for 5.0.

ACS 5.1 doesn't support windows OS.

Thanks for help JK,

I have two more queries regarding the same.

1. Do I need to install the fresh linux OS prior to installing ACS 5.1 or ACS will itself install the base operating system?

2. Do I need to buy another liscense for ACS 51. that or I can directly migrate from the liscense of ACS 4.2 ?

Waiting for your reply...then my issues will be resolved....

Ravi,

You first need to install Linux prior to acs installation. Also, for regular version of acs 5.1 you need to have valid licence from Cisco. However for 90 days trial version, check this link
