License Notes
AnyConnect Essentials AnyConnect Essentials sessions include the following VPN types:
• SSL VPN
• IPsec remote access VPN using IKEv2
This license does not support browser-based (clientless) 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 or in ASDM, using the Configuration
> Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Advanced > AnyConnect Essentials pane.
