Ah.. I take that back.  I registered with Cisco.com and attempted to download 
the VPN client and was refused.  My query into the support team got this 
response:

---------
Access to software downloads, such as the Cisco VPN Client, requires that 
you have an active support contract  with Cisco Systems in your CCO user 
ID. I have checked your CCO user ID kurt_granroth and you are not 
currently associated with any contracts.

If you have an active support contract please provide me with your 
contract  number so I can update your profile accordingly.

If you do not have an active support contract you will need to contact 
your reseller to either purchase a support contract or to purchase the 
software upgrade.

That's what my first impression was... that you needed a support contract to 
get the software.

So when you registered, did you know your company's support contract number?
