Hi Tanmay,

A>  1). Prime (2). LMS 4.2  (2). NCS 1.1 are they different software and has to install them separately ?

Yes , All three are different product .

Prime infrastructure is an upgrade product or version of NCS 1.1

B>   or The prime is the only virtual(.ova) software where there LMS and NCS works as a feature?

No , as I said in my earlier reply "Prime infrastructure is an upgrade product or version of NCS 1.1"

but LMS is altogether is different product , it is an LAN Management solution (wired devices ) where as PI can manage both wired and wireless.

SOme of the similar discussion happened here, which would be helpful.

To answer your questions :

A.> Yes all three of them are separate software.

LMS :--> Ciscoworks Prime LMS is about to be end-of-life software which will phase out in favour of its successor Cisco Prime Infrastructure. This Software was the key application from Cisco to help manage the entire Wired Infrastructure for cisco devices, like Routers, switches, VPN, FW's, etc.

NCS:--> Wireless Control System (WCS) was the LMS equivalent software to manage Cisco's wireless infrastructure. It evolved as a new Generation Network Control System (NCS).

Cisco Prime Infrastructure :--> Cisco felt market demand to have a unified experience to manage both Wired and Wireless Infrastructure, hence Cisco Prime Infrastructure was introduced which is NCS+LMS. Not all features of LMS are migrated, hence customer's are allowed to use LMS latest version 4.2.x for wired network devices, if required.

B.> Prime is now provided with an inbaked Linux kernel to remove dependency from Windows or Unix (Solaris) OS, hence it is only available as OVA deployment image to be used under virtualized environment and can take benefit of virtualized infrastructure.

FOllowing are the download links :

Download LMS 4.2 here

Download PI 2.1 here
