The newer version 5.0 of ACS is available only as an appliance, but the 4.x is still available for Unix and Windows. Cisco will be providing upgrade paths in the future to 5.0 on the software side. From http://cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps5698/ps6767/ps9911/ps9915/ data_sheet_c78-504202.html "Ordering Information Cisco Secure ACS 5.0 does not replace ACS 4.2. Cisco Secure ACS 5.0 is the next-generation platform for centralized identity and access policy management. Some of the key areas of functionality differences include protocol support, external database support, and provisioning interfaces. Customers that choose to deploy ACS 4.2 will have future upgrade paths to the next-generation ACS 5.x platform. Please see the Cisco Secure ACS 5.0 User Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9911/tsd_products_support_series_home. html for a more detailed comparison of ACS 4.0 and ACS 5.0." ---- Matthew Huff | One Manhattanville Rd OTA Management LLC | Purchase, NY 10577 http://www.ox.com | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-460-4139
