Otherwise, no, you shouldn't need that in addition to the bundle. @Dave

That’s still not the most clear reference but it’s a start. I see very little reason why someone would need the premium license but I guess there’s a need.

I presumed that if I buy the ASA5505-SSL25-K9 appliance it comes with 25 premium SSL licenses and I would not need further premium or essentials licenses to cover anyconnect mobile clients. However, the last quote was ASA55XX-SSLYY-K9 (the appliance?) plus ASA5500-SSL-25 (another 25 premium SSL lics?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking through the Cisco docs, it states that the Essentials license does not support clientless operation, while the Premium does. Clarification on this, please - exactly why would one prefer paying for the Premium? ok, can someone tell me, very specifically, what the difference between the Essentials and Premium AnyConnect licenses are?

After switching to the one that was for 8.2 only we can now connect more than two clients using the regular anyconnect software. It was the activation key.

We got two keys after buying the license. One was for all versions and one was for 8.2. I applied the one for all versions because we were running 8.0 at the time. We have since upgraded to 8.2 but didn't use the 8.2 only key. I think that is needed for the AC Essentials. We'll see tomorrow after I reboot the ASA tonight. actually I think it may be the activation key. We got two keys after buying the license. One was for all versions and one was for 8.2.

Is there separate software that is needed to use the essentials license? We bought the license and applied it but we're still getting the message saying that we're over our two SSL licenses. I've tried searching for AC Essentials specific software but came up empty. also if anyone has a link to a configuration example (CLI or ASDM doesn't matter) that would be great. I haven't found much online yet. TIA Hey quick question for those that got the essentials working for them. Is there separate software that is needed to use the essentials license?

The basic AnyConnect client falls under this license. I was stunned too but Cisco's been moving towards phasing out a client based IPSEC VPN solution. It's still a long way from happening but I think they recognized that charging a lot for the AnyConnect client wasn't going to fly. Mark, that’s exactly right.
