If you purchased a license and you are unable to download AnyConnect, call +1 919-993-2724. Select option 2. You will need to know your Cisco ID (the one you use to log into Cisco.com) and the sales order number when you call. They will get that situation all straightened out.

Step 2

Navigate Windows File Explorer to the installer file. Double-click Setup.exe to initiate the installation process.

Check your Downloads folder to locate the AnyConnect files. Browser based downloads are often deposited into the downloads folder on your device on windows. The path to the file often resembles C:Users[Your User ID]Downloads with the C:/ referring to your devices storage drive.
