Perpetual AnyConnect VPN Only License - SWSS Services

[BBNG]

Hello,

We are buying a new ASA 5506-X with AnyConnect licenses.

I've read the requirement of having a SWSS subscription for that to work but do I need support services for both ASA and AnyConnect?

Also, If decide to go with SWSS of 1Y for AnyConnect and upon termination I don't renew it, will the AnyConnect stop working because I no longer have the subscription?

Thank you.

Hello Bandi,

I did read through the FAQ, I'm still not sure I must keep the support services because there are no limitations to it and the SWSS would be for technical support and software, if I don't use that I don't see why keep it and the document does not state clearly what happens if my SWSS is not active after the selected term.

the License stay but you will not get any support and new upgrade of the latest version.

If your SWSS support for AnyConnect expires, you just lose the right to get new software versions and TAC support. You will not lose VPN functionality for your users in any way.
