Why is my VPN install greyed out on Mac or Windows?

Your VPN install may be greyed out on Mac or Windows when there is a previous installation of VPN on your machine.

First, check to see if it is still installed (if you prefer, you can use SpotLight for search):

1. From Finder go to the “Application” folder.
2. Look for the “Cisco” folder and open the folder.
3. Double click on Uninstall Anyconnect to start the uninstall process.
4. Follow the instructions to uninstall the VPN program.
5. Finally, reboot your machine.
6. Now you are ready for a fresh install!

If you are not able to find an uninstaller, you can try going to command line or terminal.app and do the following:

• Run the following shell script from the Terminal:
  sudo /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh
• You will be prompted for your password. Once you enter it, just follow the steps and reboot.
• If you are still having problems try this from the terminal.app and reboot:
  sudo pkgutil –forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn
