Cisco VPN client (IPsec) does not support 64bit Windows.

Worse, Cisco does not even plan to release a 64-bit version, instead they say that
"For x64 (64-bit) Windows support, you must utilize Cisco's next-generation Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client."

But SSL VPN licences cost extra. For example, most new ASA firewalls come with plenty of IPSec VPN licences but only a few SSL VPN licences.

What alternatives do you have for 64-bit Windows? So far, I know two:

32-bit Cisco VPN Client on a virtual machine
NCP Secure Entry Client on 64-bit Windows

Any other suggestions or experiences?
