Cisco Secure Client Testlink

[RobustCisco]

Hi ,

is there a link where the customer can test Cisco secure Client/Anyconnect in his environment before they decide buying it? I cannot find such link anywhere.

Thanks

  - It's not directly possible , in the sense that  secure Client/Anyconnect needs a server/service at the (your)  company where clients connect to with Secure Client. The environment as provided , depends on success, also on stuff as correct authenticating schemes , posture (if used), and related items.
     You could get a look at feel about it when using dcloud.cisco.com ; some of the demo's on it require , after being launched , that you connect with Secure Client to the services that you want to test further ,  one of them is the 
         Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller v3
                        testing environment ,

Can one instead do Try and buy for Cisco Anyconnect licenses?

  - The client itself is free for download : https://software.cisco.com/download/home/283000185

    >6.2 Evaluation licenses
      Cisco offers 4-week Secure Client Premier evaluation licenses that incorporate all Advantage license functionality. To obtain an       evaluation license, please visit: https://www.cisco.com/go/license.
         Select the following: Get Licenses -> Demo and Evaluation -> Security Products -> Secure Client (AnyConnect)          Advantage/Premier (ASA) Demo license.

Hi Marce, I do not find the same route as you have mentioned above - Get Licenses -> .... over that link. Is there another link you are referring to? What are evaluation licenses, are they like test licenses? Do you please testing is possible on that? The customer wants to test certain things in their own space. If not possible we would need an option to buy any connect licenses for 2 months. I do not know how that can be procured

[marce1000]

   - The mentioned documentation is wrong , I found it in https://software.cisco.com/software/swift/lrp/#/licenses
      Press on the first tab (Get Licenses) where you can then select Demo and Evaluation ==>
      Security Products ==> AnyConnect ... Demo License 
          (then follow the rest of the procedure as asked and input the  needed data)

                                Evaluation Licenses are limited in time (for use)

Hey Marce,

I think you have provided me the best information possible to date. I am still stuck on some level. I see that the Anyconnect Licenses for ASA and they need its serial number to be used. Can this not be tested with Meraki? 

if yes, How long would I be able to test them then?

[marce1000]

 - Not exactly sure what you mean by Meraki in this context : normally anyconnect/secure clients connect to an ASA router/server at the company. I expect that you will get the lifetime of those licences when you request them,

Hi Marce,

In this case I want to use the Cisco Meraki Firewall as a router for the Anyconnect license. Meraki Firewalls are also compatible with Anyconnect and not only ASA's. The link is only providing test for ASA Firewall and asking that serial number there. Is it regardless of what number I write in the serial number field or should it really be the serial number of an ASA. I have but a Meraki Firewall.

  - You will probably have to contact Cisco (or local partner) on how all of this can be achieved for a Meraki firewall ,
