Solved: How to stop auto upgrade on Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client application?

Mustafiz730 · ‎11-27-2020

Hello,

This is regarding Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Software,

When I try to access Sandbox lab's private VPN connection using the Lab Network Address which we receive via Email, My Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client gets upgraded to the new version 4.9 - which I do not want. Is there a way we could stop this Auto-upgrade process?

Please advise

Thanks,

You could run OpenConnect for your sandbox use and keep AnyConnet only for your work use. Both AnyConnect and OpenConnect can work in parallel.

If in future you have questions or issues with sandbox's you can do this here https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-sandbox/bd-p/4426j-disc-dev-devnet-sandbox

Hope this helps.
