Ok thanks for this information. I'm lucky enough as I work for a Cisco partner in France, and I have access to enough devices to setup a complete lab.
Among other, I can have a MSE appliance: 3310 or 3355. I suppose the 3310 will be enough to prepare for the CCIEW. So the 7.0 code is needed for the MSE, as for the WCS? And for ACS, the code is 5.2?
