ASA 5505 Licensing and AnyConnect

Level 5

I have an ASA 5505 with the base license which is working great for what I need it, but I have some users that want to use their iPads and iPhones to VPN back to the network.  Do I need to have the essentials or premium license to make this work or will just the mobile license be fine?

You would need 2 license for iPads and iPhones to VPN back to your network:

1) Mobile license

2) Either Essential or Premium license

Will the mobile license not work by itself?

No, it will not work by itself. It is used in conjunction with either the AnyConnect Essential or Premium license.

Here is the URL for your reference:

(--> Anyconnect for Mobile, requires either Essential or Premium license)

How many PPTP or IPSec VPN clients will the base license 5505 handle?

ASA5505 can't terminate PPTP, but you can have 10 IPSec VPN with 5505 Base license.

here is more information on 5505 for your reference, the first number is for base license, and the second number is for Security plus license:
