Installing the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client on User’s PC
You can set up a user’s PC to run the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client in standalone

AnyConnect VPN Client, and needs to provide the authentication credentials.
The security appliance supports the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client v2.x and v3.0
(SSL VPN function only). The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is compatible with the
following platforms:
•
Windows 7 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64)
•
Windows Vista 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64), including Service Packs 1 and
