Upgrading AnyConnect

Upgrades to AnyConnect 3.0 are managed through the Apple App Store. After the Apple App Store
notifies users that the AnyConnect upgrade is available, follow this procedure.

You must do the following before upgrading your device:

•

Disconnect an AnyConnect VPN session if one is established. If you fail to do this, AnyConnect
requires a reboot of your device before using the new version of AnyConnect.

•

Close the AnyConnect application if it is open.

Note

If the Apple iOS Connect On Demand feature is used on your device to make VPN connections
automatically, you must launch the AnyConnect app and establish a VPN connection immediately after
upgrade. If this is not done, upon the next iOS system attempt to establish a VPN tunnel, the error
message “The VPN Connection requires an application to start up” will display.

Step 1

Tap the App Store icon on the iOS home page.

Tap the AnyConnect upgrade notice.
