1. If you start a clientless SSL VPN session and then start an AnyConnect client session from the portal, 1 session is used in total. However, if you start the
AnyConnect client first (from a standalone client, for example) and then log into the clientless SSL VPN portal, then 2 sessions are used.
2. The maximum combined VPN sessions of all types cannot exceed the maximum sessions shown in this table.
3. A shared license lets the ASA act as a shared license server for multiple client ASAs. The shared license pool is large, but the maximum number of sessions
used by each individual ASA cannot exceed the maximum number listed for permanent licenses.
