You did not look far enough. See the ACE View web-site (http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/aceview/) where it says

Concerning an upgrade to Protégé 4.1 you will have to ask Kaarel Kaljurand (kaljurand at gmail.com) who, however, is currently and for the next months travelling around the world  – or you will have to do this yourself.

We did, but notice that it says "more ACE tools", not "all ACE tools".

Thanks, I'll look into this.

Our policy will not change in the near future.
