ASA AnyConnect Plus vs. Apex license in show version

[Peter Zsiros]

Hi,

I could not find proper details about what i should see in "show version" outputs with AnyConnect Plus or Apex license.

Can someone please direct me to the right documentation or give some examples of 2 "show version" outputs one with Plus one with Apex licensing?

Thx in advance!

Hi Pete , 

Unfortunately the ASA  won't show explicit if the user is using a Plus or APEX license. In the show vpn-sessiondb detailed  Anyconnect. The connection will say it's using Anyconnect premium license.

You got me wrong. I am after 'show version' differences at the moment. 'show vpn-sessiondb' is a different question.
