IPsec remote access VPN using IKEv2 8.4(1) IPsec remote access VPN using IKEv2 was added to the
AnyConnect Essentials and AnyConnect Premium licenses.
IKEv2 site-to-site sessions were added to the Other VPN
license (formerly IPsec VPN). The Other VPN license is
included in the Base license.
No Payload Encryption hardware for export 8.4(1) For models available with No Payload Encryption (for
example, the ASA 5585-X), the ASA software disables
Unified Communications and VPN features, making the
ASA available for export to certain countries.
Dual SSPs for SSP-20 and SSP-40 8.4(2) For SSP-40 and SSP-60, you can use two SSPs of the same
level in the same chassis. Mixed-level SSPs are not
supported (for example, an SSP-40 with an SSP-60 is not
supported). Each SSP acts as an independent device, with
separate configurations and management. You can use the
two SSPs as a failover pair if desired. When using two SSPs
in the chassis, VPN is not supported; note, however, that
VPN has not been disabled.

8.6(1) The IPS SSP software module on the ASA 5512-X, ASA
5515-X, ASA 5525-X, ASA 5545-X, and ASA 5555-X
