Hello
Does the latest 64bit VPN Client work with Windows 8, thanks

Neville,
Let me give you following answer - if it does work it is for sure not supported (yet?).
As far as I know there is no version of windows "8" that we are currently testing with VPN client.

Ok thanks for the reply, I appreciate it not supported, but tried to get it working last night and failed, so I just wondered whether anyone had managed to get it working
Thanks

Same here ... I'd be interested in any progress getting a VPN client working on Windows 8

Guys,
In case you missed it. VPN client's EOL has been announced - expect no new feature, only critical bug fixes.

There is an internal enhancement request for windows 8 support with anyconnect, but as far as I see that has been filed recently and is still waiting for prioritization.
My suggestion - go to your SE, bother him to request this from product team ;-)

I did find a solution that involved a simple regedit ... now I am using the VPN client successfully. I apologize for not having the full details at hand ... but

Cool, feel free to post the info, I do boubt however whether Cisco will claim this as supported.
Cool stuff nevertheless.

The solution can be found at http://www.eightforums.com/network-sharing/4001-cisco-anyconnect.html
Essentially, use regedit to go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpnva and remove the garbage in front of "
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual...." under the DisplayName field.

This solutions works 100% for windows RELEASED version of Window 8 (not RC) as of 8/17/12
· Open Registry editor by typingregedit in Run prompt
· Browse to the Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\CVirtA
· Select the DisplayName to modify, and remove the leading characters from the value data upto "%;" i.e.
o For x86, change the value data from something like "@oem8.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;Cisco Systems VPN Adapter” to "Cisco Systems VPN Adapter”
o For x64, change the value data from something like "@oem8.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows” to "Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows”
· Try connecting again

Yes it works even then not fully supported: please follow this link for instructions (similiar as suggest above):

I had to change from TCP to UDP to make it work better also but I think that depends on other things.

You guys having any further troubles with this? I got it to work on Win 8 Ent with this fix, yet after a few connections it won't allow me to reach any devices anymore. If I do a rollback to prior-updates of Windows 8, it will work without problems.
Does this happen to anyone else? Could you give some insights?
And CISCO tech-guy, seriously, EOL for Cisco VPN Client is the most incomprehensible thing I ever heard of. At least until Anyconnect can't be considered a real, vaiable alternative. Also, what will happen with legacy people who use it?
Let me know who could I bother to get them to troubleshoot this issue, as we got a few customers playing around with Win8 and it might arise as an issue for them as well at some point. We need a reliable CISCO VPN solution across all OSes. Either that, or team up with MS and get their own built in client to work 100% with CISCO setup (which would be even better, tbh)...
Thank you for any replies.
