This is very frustrating and waste of time,Cisco direct me to download page with my name and information then when I wanted to download Anyconnect for MAC or Windows, it keep sending me to profile page, I KEEP updating and Nothing happen, this is so much waste of time to set VPN via Cisco's none sense. OSU provides the Cisco AnyConnect for Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Linux For mobile devices, download the Cisco AnyConnect app from your device’s app store. Computers that are connected on-campus do not need the OSUVPN client installed. Try to uninstall the old client and then reinstall the new one (especially if upgrading from 2.x client to 3.x client): Select Start Control Panels Programs Uninstall a Program Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Uninstall. Go to Step 5 above and reattempt the install from there.
Before installing, uninstall any instance of the Cisco VPN client (or Cisco AnyConnect) on your computer. If your operating system is automatically detected, proceed with the automatic installation. If your operating system is not automatically detected, click the 'AnyConnect VPN” download link. After the download is complete, run the installer. Once in a while I get a high CPU alert on one of our VM file servers. Looking at the Windows Resource Monitor shows Cisco AMP for Endpoints Connector with high CPU usage.
