I wish I could help you. I was never able to get a copy working from any downloaded versions.
The only version of INPA, NCSE, etc that I was able to get working was the package that was bundled with my cable that I got from BM Technic. Unfortunately, BM Technic is no more. It's a shame too, because the way they have/had the software setup makes it sooooooo freaking easy to use. It seems now there are a million and one places that'll sell you a cable, but they leave it up to you to find the software.

I bought this cable on ebay and it came with the bundled software package. Even though it came from Romania, the cable and software works!

I just changed my battery (2010 535i Msport) and used the software and cable to register the battery. After you install the software, you have to email the hardware code to the seller so that he/she will send you the activation code. I don't know where else you can get a bootleg copy of INPA or DIS.

Can you vouch for this cable and software? I am starting to think I may have to go to the stealership for this one....stupid transmission software!
I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving me! When I saw the last post date I was afraid no one would reply lol![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

Yes, it is INCREDIBLY difficult to find working copies of BMW tools.
good luck.

I had downloaded a copy from somewhere a while back (maybe bmwcoding) but it didn't work. At the time it wasn't really necessary for my e39, I used a plain OBD SW (Kamen's freeware). Now w/ my e60, I really need the INPA SW.

There is another option that is somewhat more limited, but way less complicated. Take a look at this: BMWLogger – Welcome to BimmerSoftware.com
Runs in PC and Mac.
I've not used it to register a new battery, but I have used it to get and clear DME codes.
When getting a cable, be sure and get a K+DCAN cable. That one works on my 2006 E60 and 2009 X5. I have an older K only cable that doesn't work on the 2009 X5.
