Cisco Anyconnect client?
HI Experts,
I am hoping you can help guide me.
I will start by saying I am NOT a Cisco person.
In saying that, We are currently using the VPN client The Cisco Anyconnect VPN Client 2.5. We purchased this in September last year. This was done prior to my arrival at my current company.
It does not work on Windows 8.1. When I called Cisco, our support has also expired and they said our devices did as well. They were just purchased last year? They said we would have to contact our reseller to renew.
Here is my question so I hope it makes sense.
Do we need to upgrade the switches and this VPN client just to support Windows 8.1? I am very confused which direction to go to see what we need to purchase and where to support this. I am not allowed to download it from the portal when logging into my account.
The president of the company is on 8.1 and purchased it on his own :P
Thanks,
Karen

The hardware box should not necessarily have to be upgraded. I connect from NCP to different boxes and different levels of firmware.

well that's good, ok I will try it tonight and let you know. I have installed it.
John,
Where in the website can I find that sharing software is not allowed?

Thank you John, this worked beautifully!
I am confused on pricing and is it cheaper than renewing the any connect? I really don't understand this, it looks like we just purchased it less than a year ago, on the receipt is says we only had 90 days to download it, which we did but less than a year later we need the later version.

This worked perfectly thank you.
@klsphotos - NCP is entirely separate from Cisco so the pricing they have is for single license (my own use) and volume licensing (applies to some of my clients). I am glad this worked for you. I really like the NCP product.
Thanks John :)
