The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco announces the end-of-life dates for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.x software.
Software maintenance for 4.x software releases will end on March 31, 2024. No patches or maintenance releases will be provided for AnyConnect 4.x releases after that date.
Application software support will not be available for the stated software versions beyond March 31, 2027.
Software maintenance and application software support requires an active term license or active service contract for perpetual licenses. After these dates, all support services for the product are unavailable, and the product becomes obsolete.
Customers are encouraged to migrate to the current version, now known as Cisco Secure Client. All customers with valid AnyConnect / Secure Client term licenses or perpetual licenses with active support contracts are eligible to upgrade to the current release at no charge. There is no additive charge to adopt the current version of Cisco Secure Client for any customer who is entitled to utilize AnyConnect either directly, or indirectly through another purchased Cisco service which includes use of the client for that use case.
