disable AnyConnect auto install upon connection

[lcaruso]

Hi,

How do I disable downloading a newer AC client when connecting?

We are having all sorts of problems with a newer version not installing on Windows 8.0

Thanks.

You can disable the auto update by modifying the profile

Q. Is it possible to turn off the automatic AnyConnect upgrade via ASA?

A. Yes. Use one of these methods in order to turn off the automatic AnyConnect upgrade via the ASA:

• Adjust the profile on the ASA to disable updates.

  “false”
  

• Use a local policy to disable the AnyConnect downloader.

  BypassDownloader 
   true 
   The client does not check for any dynamic content present on the ASA, 
       including profile updates, translations, customization, optional 
       modules, and core software updates.

  true
