At the time of this writing the latest version is asdm-645.bin. I hope others find it useful as well.įirst, download the latest ASDM bin file from Cisco (you’ll have to have a valid SmartNet contract to access the downloads section). And since I wanted to upgrade to the latest anyway, I thought I’d write myself a reminder here so in a year or two when I get a new computer I don’t have to go through this same trouble again. Since I couldn’t remember exactly how to download ASDM from my ASA and it took me a bit to figure out. But I had a need for ASDM recently so I downloaded it and ran it from my computer, but to my chagrin I received the message, “Unable to launch device manager from…” Crap! I wasn’t too worried about it since I often manage my ASA firewalls via the terminal using PuTTY. And one of them I neglected to transfer was ASDM. Since it was a good opportunity to start fresh I didn’t transfer all the programs from my old one to the new.

A few months ago I got a new work computer.
