Anyconnect 4.8.00175 For Mac
Apr 17, 2019. Solved: I was under the impression that the 4.8 A/C for mac would work with any version of the OS. It won't upgrade or install on 10.9 or 10.10. Yes, I realize this OS is around 10 years old. Version 4.5 has not problems, but I still need to support. Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub), HoloLens, Xbox One.
