ESP Online is a software application which can be downloaded onto a PC to locate items and create presentations. You can follow the quick installation instructions to install ESP Online onto your computer.

IMPORTANT: If you are using a MAC to install ESP Online, you will need to use a Windows Emulator, such as Parallels. If you are using a MAC and do not have a Windows Emulator, you can use ESP Web, which is a browser-based ESP application.

To begin installing ESP Online onto your PC, log into the ASI ESPOnline Login on ASI Central.

Enter your ASI Number, Email Address and Password. Then, click on Enter. If you have forgotten your password, click on the “Forgot Your Password?” link and your password will be immediately emailed to you.

The process of downloading the InstallShield Wizard will vary slightly depending on which browser you are using:

  • Internet Explorer

    At the bottom of the browser window, a message will appear asking if you would like to run or save ESPOnlineSetup.exe. Click on the “Run” button.

    A red bar will appear at the bottom warning you that “The publisher of ESPOnlineSetup.exe couldn’t be verified. Are you sure you want to run the program?” Click on the “Run” button.
    Note: This warning appears because ASI publishes industry specific (not general or standard) software programs. Internet Explorer is programmed to only recognize standard software publishers, like Java or Microsoft. Downloading ESP Online is completely safe and will not harm your computer.
