Feature History for Licensing

AnyConnect Essentials License

8.2(1)

The AnyConnect Essentials License was introduced. This
license enables AnyConnect VPN client access to the ASA.
This license does not support browser-based SSL VPN
access or Cisco Secure Desktop. For these features, activate
an AnyConnect Premium license instead of the AnyConnect
Essentials license.

Note

With the AnyConnect Essentials license, VPN users
can use a Web browser to log in, and download and
start (WebLaunch) the AnyConnect client.

The AnyConnect client software offers the same set of
client features, whether it is enabled by this license or an
AnyConnect Premium license.

The AnyConnect Essentials license cannot be active at the
same time as the following licenses on a given ASA:
AnyConnect Premium license (all types) or the Advanced
Endpoint Assessment license. You can, however, run
AnyConnect Essentials and AnyConnect Premium licenses
on different ASAs in the same network.

By default, the ASA uses the AnyConnect Essentials
license, but you can disable it to use other licenses by using
the no anyconnect-essentials command.

SSL VPN license changed to AnyConnect
Premium SSL VPN Edition license

8.2(1)

The SSL VPN license name was changed to the
AnyConnect Premium SSL VPN Edition license.

Shared Licenses for SSL VPN

Shared licenses for SSL VPN were introduced. Multiple
ASAs can share a pool of SSL VPN sessions on an
as-needed basis.

license.
