Note that for an upgrade from 6.x to 8.x you will need to relicense as well, which requires the licenses to be in your account. Unfortunately.
Yes, there are security concerns in running an OS this old. Would not recommend it.

Subject: 7005 Controller Upgrade
I received a 7005 controller, two AP 205's, and four licenses after attending an ACMP course several years ago. Is there any way to upgrade the OS or am I stuck with 6.4 since I don't have a support contract? Are there performance and/or security concerns with running an OS this old? Thanks.
