Am I missing something or is it impossible to find a download for this? I have a valid cisco support account & constantly download software all the time. Can some please guide me?

This is correct, cisco doesn't have a separate download for the launcher it seems after searching their downloads you must get it from the device itself.

You are able to download it directly from the ASA. In a browser just go to
https://<ASA-Address>/admin it will bring up a page that will allow you to download the ASDM launcher.
You will have to make sure the http server enable command is present in the config and the address is reachable from your computer.

Florin are you saying to download the standard asdm .bin file from Cisco support site, load it to the ASA, enable http and after its loaded & http is configured properly, http to the ASA & I should see a download option?
Right now where I'm stuck is I don't see an ASDM-IDM file on the support site. I only see standard asdm.bin files

For some people with custom configs or inhereting a network with custom configs you may need to take your install a step further and make sure you are connecting to the right download area for your ASDM. You can do this by going to your cli and typing the following:
For the Cisco ASA 5515-X is looks like this:
Double check your inside interface:
MY-ASA-01# sh int ip br
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 99.211.121.127 YES CONFIG up up
GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0/2 192.168.22.1 YES CONFIG up up
GigabitEthernet0/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0/4 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0/5 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
[DATA OMITTED]
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01# show run aaa authentication
aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01# show run | inc http server
http server enable 8989 ((<--- Note port number may be different, this line is also related to Ben Walters post above))
MY-ASA-01#
MY-ASA-01#
Now we know our inside interface ip and http(s) port, go to your web browser and type:
Your ASDM download page should now populate. Remember you have to be on the inside of your network to see this, using the above method.
