If anyone is interested, the full featured SSL license and AnyConnect Essentials license are mutually exclusive. Once the activation-key for the essentials license is applied, all connections to the web page go directly into launching the AnyConnect client. So, if you've already configured the complimentary two free licenses for webvpn and want a cheap alternative for 64-bit clients, this is the way to go.

Subject: OT: AnyConnect Essentials
Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has deciphered the new flexible licensing model introduced in 8.2.x ASA. I did a little digging on NetPro and no one has come across the same issue yet (may not even be an issue). One of the licensing features that was added was the AnyConnect Essentials, a huge sticking point for a lot of SMB customers who have either chosen to move to 64-bit clients or purchased new laptops that have been shipping with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Now for ~$100, you can now add 250 AnyConnect licenses to the ASA 5510; basically free.
My question is mainly aimed at the delivery method of the AnyConnect client. The clientless SSL features are disabled (besides the two free ones) when this license is enabled, which is also the simplest delivery method for the remote users. It wouldn't be very hard to have users either download the client or have it pushed via GPO, but I'm wondering if the 'do not leave installed' options and download / launch from webpage are lost with this method. With the testing I did last night, it does seem that it will support upgrading during launch and the two free licenses for UC and SSL VPN are still enabled.
If two users are connected via the WebVPN clientless page and their only action was to download the AnyConnect client, would a third user be allowed to perform the same function or would they be blocked?
