![]() ![]() ![]() THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF ADOBE WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE FOR SUCH LIMIED PURPOSES, WHAT CAN I INSTALL TO CONTINUE USING ADOBE FOR THESE VERY LIMITED PURPOSES, I.E, VIEWING MY TAX RETURNS AND/OR VIEWING MY BANK STATEMENTS. I would not be doing any work with or on Adobe at all, simply using it to view these limited documents that require Adobe to view and sometimes to print them out from my computer. My questiton is very simple: If I leave Adobe flash on my Windows 7 computer, after the Adobe flash is discontinued in early 2021, will I still be able to use Adobe flash simply to view these limited and/or print these type of documents, such as my bank statements and/or tax returns. I understand that Adobe flash will be discontinued by very early 2021. I don't use it at all to create or work on any documents. I only use it for very specified and very limited purposes, in particular, to view PDFs such as my bank statements and tax returns which I download on my computer. I have Adobe flash on my computer which is Windows 7. There's a well established playbook, and most of the big virtualization vendors have solutions. This is typically an expensive and cumbersome option, but it's not unusual for enterprises to need to maintain and secure support to legacy systems. The whitelist would be helpful in risk reduction here, but since most browsers will remove the supporting APIs, you'd need to encapsulate a working configuration and secure it appropriately. You might think about providing a virtualized, ephemeral desktop environment that allows users to access your software with a legacy software configuration on modern clients, while insulating your environment from risk.This would allow you and/or your customers to run the application unchanged, while still getting security and functional updates that keep Flash Player working. Your organization and/or customers could license and distribute a maintained version of Flash Player within their organizations.Adobe AIR is EOL, but HARMAN maintains and distributes a copy of the AIR SDK that you can license. You could convert your web application to a standalone AIR application.We're already at a fairly high level of friction in that regard, but it gets worse. Before then, the browsers will continue to make Flash Player increasingly painful to run. ![]() The story ends with the browsers removing the plug-in APIs necessary for Flash Player to run. Please refer the NetWorker Recommendations document for Target code details.The EOL guide you pointed to links off to the roadmaps for each of the major US browsers. These releases would be impacted due to the Adobe Flash Flex EOL.ĭell EMC recommends upgrading your NetWorker system to the NetWorker Target Code version. Note: NetWorker 8.x & NetWorker 9.x Systems are already End of Life and only use the vCenter Flash based plug-in. However, users may re-enable it on a site-by-site basis through December of 2020. Heres what you can expect for each Microsoft browser: Flash is currently disabled by default in the new Microsoft Edge. Complete the upgrades as needed, and if you are still running NetWorker 18.x start planning to upgrade to the latest NetWorker 19.x and a later vCenter release before 31 st July 2021 Microsoft will end support for Adobe Flash Player on December 31, 2020, along with Adobe and their other industry partners.Refer to the appropriate NetWorker version of the NetWorker VMware Integration guide available in the Documentation tab for steps on how to install and configure the HTML5 vCenter plug-in under section “Installing the vCenter plug-in”.Determine the most appropriate version of NetWorker and vCenter that you can immediately upgrade to in order to ensure no impact due to the Adobe Flash EOL.Review End of Support timelines for your NetWorker release.Review the ‘NetWorker NVP (Proxy) Compatibility Matrix’ in the appropriate NetWorker version ‘NetWorker & All components, Reports, Mod…’ report) available on E-Lab Navigator.Review the VMware Flash End of Life and Supportability (78589) knowledge article. This article recommends moving to vSphere v6.7 Update 3, and highlights End of General Support dates for vSphere 6.5 and 6.7.See mitigation recommendations/actions in the table above. Identify your NetWorker Server version, the vProxy version, and the VMware vCenter Server version and whether the NetWorker flash based vCenter plug-in is in use at your site. ![]()
