AnyConnect 4.3 licenses are used with Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA), Integrated Services Routers 
(ISR), Cloud Services Routers (CSR), and Aggregated Services Routers (ASR), as well as other non-VPN headends such as Identity 
Services Engine (ISE), Cloud Web Security (CWS), and Web Security Appliance (WSA). A consistent model is used regardless of 
the headend, so there is no impact when headend migrations occur.
One or more of the following AnyConnect licenses may be required for your deployment:
AnyConnect Plus and Apex Licenses
From the Cisco Commerce Workspace website, choose the service tier (Apex or Plus) and the length of term (1, 3, or 5 year). The 
number of licenses that are needed is based on the number of unique or authorized users that will make use of AnyConnect. 
AnyConnect 4.3 is not licensed based on simultaneous connections. You can mix Apex and Plus licenses in the same environment, 
and only one license is required for each user.
AnyConnect 4.3 licensed customers are also entitled to earlier AnyConnect releases.
