Firepower 1000 series AnyConnect

[john.garza]

We are considering purchasing Firepower 1010 models but we are trying to figure out if these Firepower 1010 devices come with 2 AnyConnect Client connections.  The new Firepower 1010 models are replacing old ASA 5506 models that did come with 2 AnyConnect clients, which was good for what we are doing.

@john.garza if you are running the FTD software on the Firepower 1010 hardware then no you do not get 2 AnyConnect connections free, you need to buy AnyConnect license, which is 25 users minimum.

However if you run the ASA software on the Firepower 1010 device that does come with 2 anyconnect connections.

You can reimage from FTD to ASA software, guide below if your choose to reimage.

Just to confirm what @Rob Ingram said. we running FTD 1010 with asa software on it and it has 2 anyconnect licenses as out of box. however when you run ASA software on the FTD1010 you need to get a token to enable 3DES encryption which is free.
