Dears,

I have an ASA5540 with 8.0 software version, I want to implement Anyconnect for remote clients to connect through this ASA, i want to check if the software is compatible with anyconnect or needs upgrade, please advise if it is compatible with anyconnect, and what version of anyconnect.

In order to show the licenses installed on the ASA, use "show activation-key" or "show version". Mostly, you need to upgrade your licence as the default is two.

 I hope this helps. Good luck!

Version 8.0 is pretty old software for the ASA and there are reasons why you might want to upgrade the software. A code upgrade would be required for some of the advanced features of AnyConnect. But ASA8.0 is compatible with the basic functions of AnyConnect. Note that AnyConnect is a licensed feature and you will need to purchase a license to implement AnyConnect.
