webvpn licensing question

[Alex Mendez]

I have a cisco ASA5505, with  base license, it appears I can only have 2  ssl/webvpn connection running at any one time.  How can I upgrade only the webvpn portion to allow more licenses?  What license should I get?

Yes you are correct. It comes by default with 2 SSL/WebVPN license only.

You can upgrade the SSL/WebVPN license to 25 maximum on ASA5505, and you can either purchase:

- AnyConnect Essential license

OR/

- AnyConnect Premium license

Here is the difference between the 2 license:

In summary, Essential is full client mode only (similar to IPSec VPN Client), and Premium includes clientless ssl vpn, full client mode ssl vpn and advanced feature like endpoint assessment, etc.

Hope that answer your question.
