There may also be issues on use of certain types of encryption outside of the US.

Kiran,

The below URL should give you some information on crypto export policy.

http://www.cisco.com/wwl/export/crypto/

I have personally seen a lot of users working from India using Cisco VPN Client. But again, this depends on the Company's Licensing agreement, export policy agreement, contract, etc.

Since, the crypto export policy is very very strict, you dont want to take any chances.

If you have additional doubts, e mail export@cisco.com with the questions.

I hope it helps.
