Upgrade to ACS 5.4 and license

[fuhrersk8]

Hello Forum Team!

   We are in the process of upgrading from ACS 4.2 to ACS 5.4 (virtual machine). Does the licenses file is migrated or a new upgrade license is required for the new platform?

Thanks for your support.

Hi there-

Prior to ACS 5, no license key/file was required. Therefore, you will need to get one from Cisco when migrating over to 5.x and request that one is generated for you.

For more info take a look at this:

Hello;

   You will need quantity of two (2) base licenses (CSACS-5-BASE-LIC) for primary and secondary deployment.
