Where can I get Honda ESM software?

[ceann]

Hey guys, trying to find Honda ESM software. I did some digging and see FrodoFrog posted a download link a few years back but unfortunately you have to request access to it now and well, he hasn’t been active on the forums since 2017 Anyone got a link?
Thanks!

I did stumble across this forum on my search but unfortunately to register on the site you need a verification code which costs $25

An online version can be found here:

Shop Manual (HONDA MOTOR Co.,Ltd.)

You'll need Internet Explorer and it'll still complain, just say no when it asks to close the page and it loads just fine.

Absolute legend! Can confirm this works, although it will not work on windows 11 as you cant get Internet Explorer on windows 11 anymore (As far as I know), but i managed to get it working on my laptop that's running windows 10.
Thanks again Smoshea!

Works for me as well! I've made a guide on how to get it to work on Windows 11 using Edge browser. Link to the guide here.

Seems the website is down as of checking today Im hoping it comes back up. Are there any other alternatives?

Dead link? Is this the link for the other post on this forum? If so, i tried to download but couldnt get the .exe to open.

No it is not the same link. This is a file other people on this forum have recently confirmed working. I do not know where it came from. It only works on Internet Explorer. It is a database viewed on an IE interface (page). It is not an application or program that installs with an .exe, even though you do need to decompress the .rar file to a folder you can point IE to.

There are 2 methods you can use to get IE to work on a new-ish (insisting on Edge) Windows computer, both linked in this thread. I use the lower one. I tried all sorts of emulators (on a non-windows system) to fool it into believing it was runnng on IE, but in the end I only got it to work on a windows system.

The most un-problematic forever solution (MS might update to block current working solutions) is to see if anyone you know has an old windows (XP & up) laptop sitting around unused, and IE on that. Keep it offline so it doesn't update. You can also run an XP or W7 Virtual Machine if know how to do that.
