Objective
The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client provides remote users with secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. It provides remote end users with the benefits of a Cisco Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN client, and supports applications and functions not available on a browser-based SSL VPN connection. Commonly used by remote workers, AnyConnect lets them connect to the corporate computer infrastructure as if they were physically at the office, even if they are not. This adds to the flexibility, mobility and productivity of the workers.
Note: Cisco AnyConnect is compatible with the following operating systems:
- Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10
- Mac OS X 10.8 and later
- Linux Intel (x64)
The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client can be downloaded for free, however, you need to have client licenses to use it. Client licenses are sold in packs of 25. The connection licenses included in the RV340, RV345, and RV345P are not client licenses. An evaluation version of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is not available for the devices mentioned, since they are not considered as Adaptive Security Appliances (ASAs). But you can still use the VPN facilities of these devices for your VPN needs.
