Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License - what does this

[Patrick Werner]

Hello Communtiy.

I have successfully installed an ASA with Anyconnect. The Anyconnect client on my laptop works great.

But why should i now buy an Cisco Anyconnect Essentials License, for what exact is that license ?

Anyconnect works great without that license.

But i cant connnect with my IPhone with the Cisco Anyconnect for Iphone app. Should i buy the Anyconnect for Mobile license, and is this license just for one device or for all devices. Because that license is really cheap. Normaly Cisco licenses are expensiv.     

Thanks and kind regards patrick

If you don't have any AnyConnect Premium licenses, then you are restricted to two simultanious connections if you don't have the anyConnect Essentials license. And you are right, for i-devices (and Android and ...) you need the AnyConnect Mobile license.

Both AnyConnect Essentials and AnyConnect Mobile are licensed per ASA and not per concurrent user/connection. And AnyConnect Mobile needs an AnyConnect Essential or an AnyConnect Preimium License to be activated.
