The license seems to be ‘honesty box’ style – you purchase N licenses and the 
device in our case lights up 250.

We purchased a lot less than 250.

Subject: Re: [uknof] Free anyconnect licenses

It's not as good as it sounds; from the partner documentation:

- existing ASA/ASAv users without AnyConnect can activate a trial license for 
90 days (needs to be done through a Cisco partner; tedious)
- existing AnyConnect users can add additional clients without an additional 
license file (no documentation on how this is achieved)
- people without existing Cisco firewalls or with no capacity can get a 
significant discount off the ASAv30 license (but only this level, so only 
suitable for large companies).

 Additionally, the important bit:
"Existing AnyConnect customers can exceed their user limit to support an 
increase in remote workers, and new customers can access a free license. To get 
started, existing and new customers should talk with a Cisco representative or 
partner to get the requested usage counts."


 Not had to do this yet, Im guessing its some sort of funky activation key you 
end up applying ..
