ELS and Windows 8 connectivity issue
ELS enabled software uses the third party software program CISCO VPN client to transmit information securely via ELS.
The vendor of CISCO VPN client has not yet certified it will work with the recent release of Windows 8. However, we expect the vendor to certify a product in late November 2012.
Before upgrading to Windows 8, contact your software provider for advice.
