Anyconnect 4.0 License Scheme
Failover: If you are using failover firewalls you can (but don't have to) use a shared license' model, this lets you purchase a bundle of Premium licenses. and share them across multiple pieces of hardware, This requires an ASA to be setup as the license' server'. Before version 8.3 you needed to purchase licenses for both firewalls. After version 8.3, Cisco allowed the licenses. to be replicated between firewalls in a failover pair. The exception is Active/Active where the amount of licenses. is aggregated together from both firewalls and ALL are available providing the figure does not exceed the maximum for the hardware being used
Prior to version 4 Anyconnect had the AnyConnect Essentials and Premium licensing scheme. The newer v4.xAnyConnect licenses now have one of the three licensing options:
- Cisco AnyConnect Plus License (Subscription Based) - 1 year, 3 ,5
- Cisco AnyConnect Plus Perpetual License (Permanent – no subscription) - Need to buy once permanently
- Cisco AnyConnect Apex License (Subscription Based) - 1 year, 3 ,5\
The Plus Perpetual License on the other hand allows Cisco customers to purchase a one-time license, however the license costs significantly higher than the subscription-based license.
We should also note that AnyConnect 4.0 is not licensed based on simultaneous connections (like the previous AnyConnect 3.x), but is now user-based. This means a user connecting via his smartphone and laptop simultaneously will only occupy a single license.
Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.0 supports the following operating systems:
- Windows 8.1 (32bit & 64Bit)
- Windows 8 (32bit & 64Bit)
- Windows 7 (32bit & 64Bit)
- Linux Ubuntu 12.X 64Bit
- Linux RedHat 6 64Bit
- Mac OS X 10.10 – 10.8
AnyConnect Mobile is now integrated into the new AnyConnect Plus license.
