Due to popular demand, the Cisco VPN Client v5.0.7 open beta is now available!
In addition to serving as a general maintenance release, the Cisco VPN Client 5.0.7 beta is compatible with Windows 7 & Windows Vista 64-bit environments. 
A 64-bit specific compatible image is available for installation on these platforms.

Please have communicate feedback (both positive and problems) to cvc-beta@cisco.com.

Key Capabilities available for Beta Testing:
New Platform support – Windows 7 & Windows Vista 64-bit platform compatibility
Software Access: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=281940730 (under 5.BETA)
Software is available for download by any customer with a Cisco.com SMARTnet™ enabled login.
Release Notes will be available next week via a link once the download image is selected.


There are currently no plans to support Windows XP 64 bit in the VPN client.

There seems to be a lot of frustration in the forums and blogs over the lack of support on the 64-bit IPsec situation, especially those who have ripped / replaced with wholesale SSL systems...

The good news (for those who haven’t abandoned IPsec that is!) is that some companies (like NCP) have spent the past four years developing 64-bit clients that do WAY more than just connect to a gateway.

Anyway, thought I’d at least raise the issue that maybe just a client isn’t actually enough today. Check out my blog, I've been following and blogging on this topic for some time now; recent post: http://vpnhaus.ncp-e.com/2010/02/11/is-a-64-bit-ipsec-client-enough/
