AnyConnect on Meraki MX download link

[KevinShao]

Can anyone tell me why the AnyConnect download link on Meraki MX Client VPN settings is valid for 5 minutes only? Thank you.

My guess is licensing. Normally you'd have to download anyconnect client from software.cisco.com, but inorder to do so you need to a) have a COO account and b) have a valid Service Contract.

Basically the page is allowing you to circumvent that requirement.

But I'm sure your local SE might be able to answer your question.

You really need to get setup to download AnyConnect directly from software.cisco.com.  Those links were provided as a convenience, and I'm not even confident they will remain (I keep arguing they are needed to make it "Meraki Simple").

If you have Cisco Umbrella, then you should move directly to using the Cisco Secure Client via the SecureX portal.  This system is far more automated and allows centralised control and updating of all the AnyConnect clients.  It even lets you push profile updates.
