Yes, you need to download it from Cisco software and install it.

i downloaded from meraki dashboard so anyconnect client will automatically update ?

[alemabrahao]

Nope, you need to install it manually or in the windows case you can install via GPO.

Another option is via Meraki MDM, but you need a license to use it.

[Abechara]

so what is the solution ?

[alemabrahao]

The solution is install it manually.

[Abechara]

so it will not update automatically 

[alemabrahao]

No, unless you have an MDM solution, and even then you need to download it manually and place it in an application library.

This post is only talking about the Windows version.

Cisco Secure Client (of which AnyConnect is a module) has a management platform called SecureX that lets you manage the firmware version and do updates automatically.  I did a post about it a while ago.

HOWEVER, SecureX is currently being transitioned to a new platform, and new users can't sign up for it.  I think the new platform is likely to be available in the next couple of months.  Will the new platform add Linux and MacOS support ... I don't know.

There is also the Windows Store version of Cisco Secure Client, and this will also self update.  However it does not have 100% feature parity with the client you install.  You can check out the current supported feature list here:
