Unsupported Legacy Versions of AnyConnect VPN for Windows

Operating System: Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

Applies To: UB students, faculty and staff using UB VPN; UB faculty and staff using Departmental VPNs or AdminVPN

Last Updated: May 30, 2023

Neither Cisco nor UBIT support these legacy versions. Instead, upgrade your operating system whenever possible (free download for UB students) and then download and use the current, supported version of Cisco Secure Client. 

Faculty and staff: contact your department's IT support staff to see if they can assist you.

Legacy versions of AnyConnect do not contain fixes for security issues discovered after a newer version of Cisco Secure Client is made available from Cisco.
