ASA 5505 free inbuilt anyconnect licensing?

[west33637]

Does the ASA 5505 come with 2 free Anyconnect licenses. I do not see any Anyconnect licensing enabled when I do a show version. I do see that essentials is disabled. Thanks,

The ASA 5505 should have two (2) free AnyConnect licenses that will show up on the 'show version' line like this:

AnyConnect Premium Peers : 2         perpetual
AnyConnect Essentials    : Disabled  perpetual

This will allow up to two AnyConnect access VPN connections (or clientless TLS access VPN connections) on the device. AnyConnect Essentials was a legacy license model that would allow up to the device limit for AnyConnect sessions, but no clientless TLS connections, so you shouldn't have that.

What are you seeing in your 'show version' output?
