Licensing Requirements for AnyConnect Connections
The ASA downloads the client based on the group policy or username attributes of the user establishing
the connection. You can configure the ASA to automatically download the client, or you can configure
it to prompt the remote user about whether to download the client. In the latter case, if the user does not
respond, you can configure the ASA to either download the client after a timeout period or present the
login page.
