Adobe Flash End of Life

Adobe Flash won’t work after 12th Jan 2021 as Adobe has finally pulled the plug and disabled the execution of Flash based apps on and after 12th Jan 2021.

Evolphin Zoom v8.0 has alternatives for Flash based apps.
Like:

  • Use Web client in place of WebVAB.
  • Replaced Webmin Flash based charts and reporting components with HTML5 charts.
  • Added an HTML5 module for creating Job Templates, so there is no need to open the Flash based Workflow Designer.

If Flash based workflow designer is needed, it can open in a Windows Virtual Machine whose date is before 12th Jan 2021. If you want to use the Workflow Designer, we recommend opening the Zoom Webmin(9443/8443) inside a Firebox browser running a virtual Machine whose date is before 12th Jan 2021.

Please reach out to Evolphin Support if you need any assistant.
