I am trying to import / copy an AnyConnect client profile to my PC to test machine certificate authentication. However this Profile does not show up as a selection in the dropdown list of AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.
I have copied it to C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile
Any ideas why this is not working as I expect and how to solve it? AnyConnect version 4.3.02039

What RJI said is correct - for VPN profile you need to restart AnyConnect somehow (vpnui at a minimum) to make it re-scan the profiles folder.
However, are you testing for VPN profile or NAM (Network Access Module) profile? If NAM, the the process is a bit different.

Thanks for your replies. Yes I have tried to both restart AnyConnect (by quiting out of it) and restarted PC with no success. It keeps coming up with the previous profile I had there. I deleted it thinking there might be a conflict of sorts and then saved the new profile to same location as I mentioned above, but it keeps just showing the old profile in the AnyConnect client that I deleted, and not the new one.
This is just a regular VPN profile to force the AnyConnect VPN to use machine certificate. no NAM involved.

C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\preferences.xml
Delete the above file and restart the client with the new profile placed in the C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile location.
