SSL Licencing question

[endpoint]

Hello,

looking for a list of licence to purchase in order to have SSL AnyConnect available for Apple ipads.

ASAs are:

ASA1, VPN plus licence, SSL VPN Peers 500, Total VPN Peers 750 = i think i am good with only Mobile Licence for this unit.

ASA2, base licence, SSL VPN Peers 2, Total VPN Peers 250. = for this unit i would like to by only 500 SSL Peers but not sure if i need VPN plus for his.

Thanks

ASA1 - correct, all you need is to add AnyConnect Mobile License.

ASA2 - you only need to purchase the 500 SSL Peer license as well as the AnyConnect Mobile license. You don't need to purchase the Security Plus license. Security Plus license is required to add more firewall connections, security context, VLANs, failover capability, etc.

Here is a model comparison and you can compare between the Base license and Security Plus license feature:

Hope this helps.

OK, just to clarify - i need 1x AnyConnect Mobile License (which is about $190.00) or 500 X AnyConnect Mobile License (which is about 95K).

We thought the explanation from Jennifer was clear. But since it is perhaps not clear to you then let me try to explain in a slightly different way.

To support AnyConnect on any mobile phone the ASA needs the AnyConnect Mobile license which is one per ASA, no matter how many users will be supported on that ASA.

Also to support AnyConnect on a mobile platform the ASA must have sufficient SSL licenses, which are per concurrent user.

So ASA 1 already has SSL licenses and only needs the AnyConnect license ( *1).

ASA 2 needs SSL licenses (* number of users) and needs AnyConnect Mobile (*1).

Richard, not sure what company you are working with but when you dealing with budgets you have to make sure you are 100% clear what has to be purcahsed to get feature you need. Jenifer's explanation was clear (and very appreciated) but not clear enough for me to go to my manager and ask for fundings. You did not have to go into trouble and "explain" in diffferent way, it would have been enough to say Yes to my question.
