I recently discovered this new Cisco AnyConnect Essentials license being touted for the 8.2 code for ASAs. It took me a little while to parse through the cryptic description on Cisco's site but it seems that you can now get client based SSL for a couple hundres $$'s depending on the ASA model. That's up to the platform supported max!
If you want the web portal "clientless" SSL VPN you have to pay the previous crazy pricing for the "Premium" license. For most people this won't matter and what it means is essentially a cheap SSL client solution now. Woohoo!
This guy seemed to confirm my thoughts.
Dude stole my theme too! :)
