Win7 - AnyConnect Client and Cisco VPN Client ?

[dheinen]

Perhaps someone knows;

Can The AnyConnect 2.3.0254 client and the Cisco Ipsec client 5.0.06.0100 be installed on the same Win7 machine without conflict ?

Since it's not my machine, It's best to ask advice before trying.

Thanks!

Dean, you can have both clients installed on the same machine, I do speak for Windows Vista where I either use Annyconnect client or Cisco VPN client, but have not come across any threads out there indicating conflits warnings in Windows 7.

The Cisco VPN client is supported on the 32bit platform of WIndows 7(NOT the 64bit) so be aware of this. I would suggest you to go over Releas notes for each client and look at opened Caveats to see if there is anything reported pertaining to your question.

FYI. Windows 7 support was introduced with the AnyConnect 2.4 client.

True, but not IPSec capabilities, only SSL. AnyConnect seems to be a poor name for a VPN client that cannot connect IPSec.
