OT: ACS 3.3 Import on ACS 4.1

As Daniel mentioned, you have two options:

Export from 3.3 and install on a second server with 3.3 and upgrade to 4.1.1.24, etc. to do a non-production upgrade.

Install 4.1.1.24 on top of 3.3 to do an in place upgrade.

Outside of this, I'm done. We've exhausted this email distro for an off-topic subject.

Take Daniel's advice and google or call a consultant. Good luck.
