Is Cisco anyconnect lisence required

Question

Hi,
I have a case where we have proposed Cisc ISE basic and advanced lincense for around 10000 users.
Customer is asking for 802.1X supplicant, we are saying to the customer that 802.1x will be taken care by the operating system and that NAC agent will take care of Profiling and posturing.
Could you please advice if 802.1x supplicant is really required for ISE deployment. 
The respose is urgently awaited, could you please respond.

Answer 1

Hi Henry,
Almost any modern operating system supports 802.1x.
The Cisco Anyconnect adds more features to it like:
In addition to industry-leading VPN capabilities, the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client helps enable IEEE 802.1X capability, providing a single authentication framework to manage user and device identity, as well as the network access protocols required to move smoothly from wired to wireless networks. Consistent with its VPN functionality, the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client supports IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec) for data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication on wired networks, safeguarding communication between trusted components of the network.
The transcript was extracted from:

Where you can check if these security features are needed for your client.
