Hi,

The difference between the webvpn and SSL VPN Client is the WebVPN uses SSL/TLS and port

forwarding via a java app for application support, it also only supports unicast TCP traffic, no ip

address is assigned to the client, and all the web-browsing down the tunnel is done with an SSL

web-mangle that allows us to stuff things into theSSL session. 

The SSL VPN Client(Anyconnect) is a full tunneling client using SSL/TCP that installs an app on the machine and

envelopes the vpn traffic into the ssl session and also has an ip address assigned so the

tunnel is two way, not uni-directional.   It allows for application support over the

tunnel without having to set up a port forward for each application.

Anyconnect is a new generation client which replaced old vpn client and can be used for both ssl as well as IPSEC vpn.

  For anyconnect licensing please go to the below link:

Thanks Kanwal

If I buy licence for anyconnect , can i use for webvpn also ?

 

Thanks again

Hi,

Yes you can but you would need anyconnect premium license and not anyconnect essentials. Just ensure to explain your requirement clearly before buying the license so that you can get the appropriate license.
