Cisco ISE 3.x - Does Agentless posturing require Anyconnect licenses?

Nadav — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:19:07 GMT

Hello,

Using an Anyconnect agent requires licensing both for ISE and Anyconnect. However, I haven't seen anything regarding licensing if Agentless posturing is in use.

Are the licensing demands the same even though Anyconnect isn't installed?

Thanks.

ISE and AnyConnect have separate licensing requirements. ISE 3.x requires Premier licensing for any endpoints that will be assessed for Posture status, whether that is agent-based (AnyConnect) or agentless.

If you are not using the AnyConnect ISE Posture module (agentless), then the endpoints will not require AC Apex licenses.
